Jameel Warney Named Korean Basketball League Foreign MVP, Member of League's Best Five

SEOUL — Stony Brook's best basketball product has added some silverware to his trophy case.
 
Three-time America East Player of the Year Jameel Warney was named the Korean Basketball League's Foreign MVP and to the league's "Best 5," after a stellar 2019-20 campaign with the Seoul SK Knights.
 
Warney finished his first year in South Korea averaging a double double for the Knights, carrying 20.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game on his resume as his squad clinched a tie for first at the end of the KBL's regular season. The league announced them as co-champions after the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the postseason.
 
It was the Knights second, first-place finish in the last three seasons. Warney engineered a big turnaround from a 20-34 campaign a season ago, improving the squad by 13 games to win 28 of its 44 games in 2019-20.
 
The Plainfield, N.J., native added an impressive basketball resume that includes his America East Player of the Year trophies, a pair of Defensive Player of the Year trophies from the league, FIBA AmeriCup MVP and USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year.
