Former Stony Brook star Jameel Warney received a Hoops Agent Player of the Week Award this week.

The star center had an excellent game in the last round for top-ranked Seoul SK Knights for round 22.

The 30-year old former Seawolf had a double-double with 34 points and 20 rebounds. His team beat KCC Egis, who are ranked #7 overall, 96-86.

With that win the Knights took over the top position in the South Korean KBL. The Seoul Knights have a solid 17-6 record.  Warney is league's best scorer this season, averaging 25 points per game, while leading the league in rebounds with 13 rebounds per game. He also is 8th in league for most assists and averages 53% from the field.

Warney has played overseas for years now. He was the first Stony Brook player to reach the NBA when he made his debut with the Dallas Mavericks on March 11, 2018. 

He led the team to its first ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament and graduated as the school's all-time leader in several career categories.
