Warren joined Napoli Basketball for the 2012 Italian Lega2 season, marking his first professional season in Italy, and he later spent part of the 2012–2013 campaign with the same club while averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game in Italy’s second division.
Warren joined Apollon Limassol for the 2012–2013 Cyprus Division A season after moving there in December 2012, and across his Cyprus stint he appeared in 13 games and totaled 201 points, with his season production elsewhere recorded at 15.5 points per game alongside teammates including Marvin Jefferson, Jason Detrick, and Ken Horton in the same squad’s statistical listings.
Warren joined the Wellington Saints for the 2013 New Zealand NBL season, playing eight games and scoring 148 total points, with that Saints roster also listing teammates such as Corey Webster, Lindsay Tait, Dillon Boucher, and Casey Frank during the same season’s team materials and statistical pages.
Warren joined Unión de Formosa for the 2014 Argentine season and played 10 games, then moved to Estonia in 2015 to join Pärnu, where his nine-game stint produced 193 total points before his career shifted to Kosovo for the 2015–2016 season.
Warren joined Pristina for the 2015–2016 season in Kosovo, where the club’s 2015–2016 roster listings included him and the team’s 2015–2016 honours record credits Pristina with the Balkan League title, before he returned to Germany and signed with Mitteldeutscher BC for the 2016–2017 season, a move reported in mid-July 2016.
Warren joined Mitteldeutscher BC for the 2016–2017 German season and produced 505 points across 30 games, including an 18-point, six-rebound effort in a January 29, 2017 Bundesliga box score, then played in Japan with the Ibaraki Robots in 2017–2018 before returning to Germany for further Mitteldeutscher BC stints in 2018 and 2019–2020, adding an Italian stop with Mantova in 2018–2019 and closing his international playing career in Germany with Riesen Ludwigsburg in 2020–2021, where he played 14 games and totaled 102 points.
COLLEGE
Warren played college basketball at Bradley, where he appeared in games across the 2006–07, 2007–08, 2009–10, and 2010–11 seasons, with a medical redshirt year in 2008–09 after a right-foot injury.
His five-year Bradley career finished with 130 games played (94 starts), 3,665 minutes (28.2 per game), 1,621 points (12.5 per game), and shooting splits of 514-for-1,228 from the field (.419), 225-for-560 on three-pointers (.402), and 368-for-436 at the line (.844).
Over those 130 games, he totaled 485 rebounds (3.7 per game), including 114 offensive and 371 defensive, plus 186 assists, 141 steals, and 28 blocks, while committing 177 fouls-outs/278 fouls and 186 turnovers.
He finished his career as Bradley’s 10th-leading scorer (1,621 points) and ranked second in program history in career free-throw percentage (.844), third in career three-pointers made (225), and seventh in career three-point percentage (.402).
Bradley’s 2006–07 team went 22–13 overall (10–8 in Missouri Valley play) under head coach Jim Les, and as a freshman Warren played in 34 games (0 starts), averaging 13.5 minutes and 4.1 points per game while shooting 44-for-95 (.463) from the field, 21-for-46 (.457) from three, and 30-for-36 (.833) at the line.
In that 2006–07 season he added 53 rebounds (1.6 per game), 15 assists, 14 steals, and 9 blocks across 458 minutes, with a per-game line that included 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists.
His freshman usage was primarily off the bench in Bradley’s rotation, aligning with his 0 starts across those 34 appearances.
As a sophomore in 2007–08, Bradley finished 21–17 overall (9–9 in Missouri Valley play) under Jim Les, and Warren started 32 of 33 games while posting 435 points (13.2 per game) on 132-for-307 shooting (.430), 67-for-165 from three (.406), and 104-for-129 at the line (.806).
He recorded 118 rebounds (3.6 per game), 51 assists, 48 steals, and 6 blocks in 993 minutes (30.1 per game) while being named Missouri Valley Player of the Week after a 23-point overtime win at Wright State on December 11, 2007, and earning South Padre Island Invitational All-Tournament recognition after scoring 18 points in the title game against Vanderbilt.
Late that season he suffered a spiral fracture of the second metacarpal bone (index finger) in his left non-shooting hand against Creighton on February 16, had a stabilizing plate inserted on February 18, and missed Bradley’s final four regular-season games plus the MVC Tournament, before returning for the CBI opener and averaging 13.5 points per game across six postseason contests.
At the time of that injury, he was viewed as a leading candidate for the league’s most-improved award, had started all 27 games to that point, and was scoring 13.1 points per game while also tying a then career-high with seven rebounds in the Creighton win where the injury occurred.
Warren did not play in 2008–09, applying for a medical redshirt after a broken bone in his right foot before the season, a setback that included a return attempt for the season opener, another injury later diagnosed as a likely microfracture near an inserted screw from the previous surgery, and an outcome where he was unable to appear in any regular-season games (0 games played).
In 2009–10, he returned from the medical redshirt and started all 31 games, averaging 33.6 minutes and 14.4 points per game while shooting 142-for-353 (.402) overall, 61-for-154 from three (.396), and 100-for-115 at the line (.870).
He totaled 139 rebounds (4.5 per game), 63 assists, 26 steals, and 3 blocks that season, and he authored several noted late-game and high-leverage moments, including a go-ahead three-pointer with 36 seconds left in a 72–68 win against #20 Illinois (Nov. 28) and a steal plus breakaway dunk with 4.2 seconds left to help seal a 56–54 win over Wofford (Nov. 22).
In MVC play that year, he produced a second-half scoring surge of 15 points (all after halftime) on Feb. 13 in a 68–59 win over then #18/19 Northern Iowa, a game highlighted as a game-high scoring performance that helped swing the result.
Warren’s top collegiate scoring year came in 2010–11, when he started all 32 games and averaged 36.7 minutes and 18.8 points per game while shooting 196-for-473 (.414) from the field, 76-for-195 from three (.390), and 134-for-156 at the stripe (.878).
He also averaged 5.5 rebounds per game (175 total), produced 57 assists, 54 steals, and 10 blocks, and led the Missouri Valley in scoring (18.8), three-pointers made per game (2.4), free throws made per game (4.2), and minutes played (36.7), while ranking second in the league in steals per game (1.7) and free-throw percentage (.859 as listed in his season notes).
In the 2010–11 regular-season finale, he delivered a nationally unique stat line for that season by recording 33 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals in one game, becoming the first player in the country in 2010–11 to hit at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals in the same contest.
That senior season included 18 games of 20+ points, and he authored a run of 40 consecutive made free throws from Dec. 4 to Jan. 4, a streak listed as the second-longest in Bradley history and the longest nationally during the 2010–11 season.
He was also the Missouri Valley’s final Player of the Week for 2010–11 after averaging 21.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.5 steals, and 3.0 assists in two games while committing one turnover in 75 minutes, and that recognition was one of four MVC Player of the Week awards in his career (Dec. 18, 2007; Dec. 27, 2010; Feb. 7, 2011; Feb. 28, 2011).
Across his Bradley tenure he earned First Team All-MVC in 2011 after receiving Honorable Mention All-MVC in 2010, and he was also a 2011 NABC All-District 16 First Team selection, later being inducted into the Bradley Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2022.
In league-wide listings for the 2010–11 season, he appeared as a First Team All-Conference selection in the Missouri Valley’s postseason awards set for that year.
From a career-context perspective, recruiting listings place his Bradley commitment in October 2005, and biographical references also tie him to Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis before his college career began.
Separately summarized career pages list his Bradley playing window as 2006–2011, aligning with his five-year tenure that included the 2008–09 medical redshirt season.
