Seoul SK's foreign option Jamil Warney (34) is at a crossroads of change this season.

He is a very special player. He entered SK in 2019 and is in his sixth season. SK actively wanted to renew the contract, and Warney is also proud of SK.

He is the best foreign player in the league. The plotter by spin move is the signature play. Intelligent, scoring, passing, and rebounding are all strong.




He doesn't shoot much, but he also has the ability to shoot 3-pointers.

He is still the best foreign player in the league. Asked if he could win the KBL if Stephen Curry came, he was so talented that he created a meme saying, `How are you going to stop Warnie?'

Warney said in an interview with the author last year: "It's an honor to be compared to Curry. I'll put a lot in it, but it's not enough for Curry."




Of course, SK plans offensive tactics based on Warnie. It is natural to actively utilize the player with the highest probability. 'Wony GO' is, in a way, natural. However, if you are too dependent, side effects can occur.

SK manager Jeon Hee-chul is well aware of this. Warnie, too, was all about it.

He mainly played under the basket last season. He also has weaknesses. It often revealed weaknesses in the outer defense, and it also adversely affected the overall transition of the team due to the problem of activity. However, Warney filled this weakness with an exceptional score. There was no problem with team play either. However, some limitations were seen last season. With the emergence of hard calls this season, the overall efficiency of post-up play has declined.




There is a need to change Warney's style, and even SK's team style. In addition, it was necessary to adjust the proportions of Kim Sun-hyung, Ahn Young-joon, Oh Se-geun, Choi Boo-kyung, and Oh Jae-hyun.

In the end, the most ideal option was to strengthen the team's mobility and transition. This required a change in Warney.

Warney built more than 100% of his body in the offseason. It became faster, and the activity increased more. In the end, SK has made dramatic changes this season. It became the fastest team in the league.

There are two reasons. First of all, the steal has increased. Steele means fastball. Prerequisites for Steele. This is Warney's increased defensive activity. Warney's surprise double team participation increased. This is evidence of increased activity. A steele under strong pressure led to a fastball.

The second Warney had fun playing the role of a trailer. An outlet pass immediately after a defensive rebound. And quickly all the players advance. While the opponent's foreign player's backcourt is delayed, Warney immediately goes straight to the rim. Finish the fastball with a trailer. As Kim Sun-hyung, Ahn Young-joon and Oh Jae-hyun all move forward quickly, the probability of success in the fast attack is even higher.

As the transition strengthened, the attack position increased. In the end, Warney's weight was reduced and a system was prepared for all players to score evenly.

SK has a weakness in 3-point shooting, but it fills the Achilles tendon with a fastball. In the match against Hyundai Mobis in Ulsan on the 6th, it also had an 18% success rate of 3-pointers, but this is a key reason why SK won a great victory with 95-76 points and multiple points.
