Jeon Hee-chul, head coach of SK in Seoul, recently received surprising news. This is the story of foreign players Jamil Warney and Isaiah Hicks. The two players are engaged in training while returning vacation and rest. It is even known to train with players preparing for D-League games. SK will play four D-League games during the break.
SK entered the A-match break with 31 wins and 8 losses. He won by combining his unique speed basketball and salty defense. It's not just a flowery path. During the season, Kim Sun-hyung, Kim Hyung-bin, and Oh Jae-hyun suffered from alternating departures due to large and small injuries. The break is simply 'Oasis in the desert'. Moreover, most of SK's main players, including Oh Se-geun (38), Kim Sun-hyung (37), and Choi Boo-kyung (36), are in their mid-to-late 30s. I'm desperate for a break. Jeon and the team are enjoying a short but sweet break.

Warnie doesn't need an explanation. He is considered the best player this season. He averaged 34 minutes and 37 seconds in 39 league games, scoring 24.2 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. He was named the MVP of this season's round three times. He won MVP honors in the first, second and fourth rounds. Warney became the first player to win three awards within a season since the 2015-2016 round MVP system was established.
Hicks returned to the KBL stage in SK's uniform this season. He averaged 6 minutes and 21 seconds in 33 games of the season. Although he has little time to play, he is doing his part as a veteran. His three-point shooting success rate this season is a whopping 36%.
SK is leading the way in the performances of the two players. Jeon said, `I'm training very hard for the two players. It's exemplary. In fact, the A-match break was long, so I would have given it to you if you asked for a vacation. The players are training with their vacations and breaks returned" he complimented.
Starting with the game against Ulsan Hyundai Mobis on the 28th, SK will enter the last-minute race. Hyundai Mobis tied for second with Changwon LG with 24 wins and 14 losses. It is expected to be an important game that will be a watershed for the leading competition.
