Grizzlies Exercise Third-Year Option On Warrick
Selected 19th overall in the 2005 NBA Draft after a four-year college career at Syracuse University, Warrick averaged 4.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in 68 games (two starts) during his rookie season. He averaged 6.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in three games of the Grizzlies four-game playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks, including one start. He also participated in the 2006 Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk Competition at NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston.
