6.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game to this point. And he's knocking down free throws!http://www.nba.com/summerleague/2016/players/sl_jameel_warney/
Saw some rumblings Warney was deciding between offer for Mavs Camp or South Korea.
Here is an example of what the Mavs pay for a partial guarantee contract.. If Warney gets invited to camp with no contract he would make substantially less money .http://www.vanquishthefoe.com/2016/7/21/12247578/byu-basketball-kyle-collinsworth-signed-contract-dallas-mavericks-nba
great news!
Nardone: Mavericks getting a steal in Jameel WarneyWithout purposely attempting to be hyperbolic, the Dallas Mavericks signing Jameel Warney is the steal of the century. It rivals…no…it surpasses the “Havlicek steals the ball!” on the all-time steals list in the history of the sport.Warney, who is an undersized big man at 6’8″, has an uncanny ability to rebound the basketball, block shots and score buckets at an efficient rate without needing the offense to run through him.Then again, he’s more polished on the offensive end than given credit for. He has good footwork underneath the basket, regularly finds space in the floor in which he can operate, and his ability to find the basketball coming off the rim is patently absurd.However one values offensive rebounds, knowing that he grabbed 39 total rebounds during the Summer League, with 27 of those being offensive, helps bring his nose for the basketball on the offensive end to the forefront. He will, or at least should, help create second opportunities for teams when they would otherwise not get them.Oh, and it is also worth noting that Dallas never ran offense through him, yet he still shot 60 percent from the field, and in the only two games that he saw over 20 minutes in, Warney averaged 10 points and 10 rebounds (16 of the 20 rebounds were of the offensive variety).While certainly not a given, there’s little reason to think that he will fail to evolve into a bruiser big/decent jumper hybrid. Considering he brings such impacting skills (rebounding, blocks) to the table as is, he only needs to become a competent jump-shooter to find himself a home in the league. Moreover, if he does become the sort of player who can hit a jumper with semi-regular consistency, we are now less talking about Warney as a fringe NBA player and more so in context of being — NO HYPERBOLE — an NBA starter.

Missing out on marquee names like Mike Conley and Hassan Whiteside early in free agency, the Dallas front office quickly rebounded by working out a trade to acquire Bogut from the Golden State Warriors. The Mavs then inked Barnes, 24, to a reported four-year deal worth $94 million, adding another starter from the Warriors’ 2015 NBA championship team and 73-win squad last season. Meanwhile, the Mavs got younger by signing third-year big man Dwight Powell and adding the likes of a 26-year-old Curry, big man Quincy Acy, Argentine swingman Nicolas Brussino, summer-league standout Jonathan Gibson, BYU product Kyle Collinsworth, forward Dorian Finney-Smith, undrafted LSU guard Keith Hornsby and post player Jameel Warney to round out the roster. Now, Matthews says he will ensure that the Mavs play with a chip on their shoulders and relish taking on an underdog role.
