BIO: Hakim Warrick was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA).

NBL EXPERIENCE

Hakim Warrick made his NBL debut with the Melbourne United at 33 years of age. He scored 21 points in his first game.

After finishing fifth with a 13-15 record and missing the playoffs during the club’s first season under the Melbourne United name, Melbourne appointed former NBA assistant Dean Demopoulos as head coach. Jordan McRae (to Delaware), Stephen Dennis (to Bnei Herzliya), Mark Worthington (to Cairns), Daryl Corletto and Lucas Walker (to Adelaide) departed, while Daniel Kickert, Nate Tomlinson and David Barlow returned. Demopoulos added Chris Goulding (via Zaragoza), Todd Blanchfield (via Townsville), Stephen Holt (via Canton), Majok Majok (via Slovenia), Igor Hadziomerovic (via Boise State) and Ekene Ibekwe (via New Zealand), while Brad Hill (via Illawarra) joined as an injury replacement after Barlow suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.

Ibekwe (to Gießen) requested a compassionate release on September 18 so he could return to Europe to be with his pregnant partner, leading Melbourne to sign Warrick (via Torku Konyaspor) four days later as his replacement. Warrick therefore joined late in the preseason rather than during the regular season and arrived only days before Melbourne completed an undefeated NBL Blitz and claimed the Loggins-Bruton Cup.

Melbourne opened the season in Townsville on October 9, where Warrick (21 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists) came from the bench and made eight of 11 field-goal attempts as United defeated the Crocodiles 99-84. Blanchfield (29 points and 8 rebounds) and Holt (17 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists) provided the other major contributions, while Brian Conklin (25 points and 5 rebounds) was Townsville’s best.

Warrick (14.2 points and 6 rebounds across 23 games) became Melbourne’s main scoring option in the frontcourt off the bench and started only two games. He played 21 of Melbourne’s 28 regular-season games and both semifinals. After helping United open the season 5-0, a groin injury placed him on the short-term injury waiver and ruled him out of six consecutive games between October 29 and November 20. Warrick (1 point and 4 rebounds) returned against New Zealand on November 22, with his only other game missed coming when Melbourne rested him alongside Goulding and Kickert for the February 12 trip to Auckland in preparation for the playoffs.

Garrett Jackson (5.2 points across 6 games) (via North-West Tasmania) joined Melbourne on October 29 as Warrick’s short-term injury replacement and remained in the active lineup for the six games Warrick missed with the groin injury. Jackson’s final appearance came on November 20 before Warrick returned two days later, with Jackson (to North-West Tasmania) leaving Melbourne’s active roster when the replacement period ended.

Warrick (20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block) produced one of his best regular-season games in Adelaide on December 23, but the 36ers defeated Melbourne 91-81. Kickert (20 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks) and Holt (12 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists) provided support, while Daniel Johnson (31 points and 16 rebounds) led Adelaide.

Four days later, Warrick (16 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block) recorded a double-double as Melbourne defeated Perth 92-87 at Hisense Arena. Goulding (27 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists) and Holt (16 points and 7 assists) led the scoring around him, while Casey Prather (24 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals) was Perth’s best.

Warrick (21 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block) continued his improved form in Sydney on December 30 as Melbourne defeated the Kings 100-90. Kickert (26 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 block) made all 10 of his field-goal attempts, including all three three-pointers, while Goulding (19 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal) provided further support and Josh Childress (27 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks) led Sydney.

Goulding (18.4 points and 3.7 rebounds across 29 games) led Melbourne in scoring, while Holt (15.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists across 30 games), Kickert (14.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 28 games), Blanchfield (9.6 points and 6.5 rebounds across 30 games) and Majok (5.5 points and 7.1 rebounds across 30 games) provided the other major contributions. Kickert shot 52.5 percent from the field, 47.2 percent from three-point range and 90.5 percent from the free-throw line but finished four made free throws short of the minimum requirement for a 50-40-90 season. Warrick was named the NBL’s Best Sixth Man after receiving 48 votes, ahead of Torrey Craig and Ebi Ere.

“This is a role that I’ve embraced for most of my career so it’s cool to finally get some accolades for it,” Warrick said. Goulding finished runner-up in NBL MVP voting with 84 votes and joined Kickert on the All-NBL First Team, while Holt earned All-NBL Second Team honours.

Melbourne completed the regular season against New Zealand at Hisense Arena on February 14, where Warrick (8 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 assist) played as the Breakers defeated United 70-68. Goulding (22 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, and 1 steal) and Kickert (16 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 steal) led Melbourne, while Tai Wesley (23 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 2 blocks) led New Zealand, scoring the go-ahead basket with six seconds remaining before Warrick missed Melbourne’s final attempt. United finished first with an 18-10 record and claimed the minor premiership.

Warrick’s best game of the season came in the opening semifinal at Hisense Arena, where Warrick (24 points, 13 rebounds, 1 steal, and 4 blocks) made nine of 15 shots, but New Zealand defeated Melbourne 91-82. Goulding (23 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal) and Holt (13 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists) provided support, while Cedric Jackson (20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals), Thomas Abercrombie (16 points and 4 rebounds) and Mika Vukona (11 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals) led the Breakers.

Game two moved to Vector Arena, where Warrick (17 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 blocks), Goulding (23 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists), Kickert (16 points and 3 rebounds) and Holt (12 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists) led Melbourne, while Abercrombie (23 points and 4 rebounds), Cedric Jackson (19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals), Wesley (16 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks) and Corey Webster (13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals) led New Zealand as the Breakers won 91-78 and completed the two-game sweep.

Hakim Warrick played one season in the NBL. He averaged 14.2 points, 6 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 23 NBL games.

He also had an Israeli Premier League stint with Ironi Nahariya in 2018, where he appeared in four games and his per-40-minute line for the club was listed as 15.7 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.0 blocks.

He scored a season-high 10 points against Hapoel Tel Aviv and grabbed seven rebounds against Maccabi Ashdod.

COLLEGE

Warrick played college basketball at Syracuse from 2001–02 through 2004–05, finishing a four-season career under head coach Jim Boeheim that included 135 games and 119 starts while producing 2,073 points and 1,025 rebounds for career averages of 15.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.

In the 2001–02 season, Warrick suited up for a Syracuse team that went 23–13 (9–7 Big East) and reached the NIT semifinals, appearing in all 35 games with 19 starts while averaging 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game and shooting 55.2% from the field (95-for-172).

In the 2002–03 season, Warrick started all 35 games for a 30–5 Syracuse team that won the NCAA championship, lifting his production to 14.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 54.1% from the field, and he was part of the title-game finish that included his late block of a potential game-tying three-pointer against Kansas.

In the 2003–04 season, Warrick again started every game he played, appearing in 31 contests as Syracuse went 23–8 (11–5 Big East), and he averaged 19.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game while shooting 50.9% from the field and producing 171 made free throws on 247 attempts (69.2%).

In the 2004–05 season, Warrick played all 34 games and extended his double-figure scoring streak to every game of the season, leading Syracuse to a 27–7 record (11–5 Big East) while averaging 21.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per game on 54.8% shooting and adding 211 made free throws on a school-record 310 attempts.

Across that 2004–05 campaign, he posted 16 double-doubles, scored a career-high 36 points in his final home regular-season game against Providence after scoring 35 in the previous outing versus St. John’s, and closed his Syracuse career with a four-game stretch spanning the Big East Tournament and NCAA Tournament in which he averaged 22.5 points and 12.0 rebounds while recording four straight double-doubles (including 26 points and 10 rebounds against Connecticut).

Warrick’s 2004–05 season included Big East Player of the Year recognition and first-team All-Big East honors, along with the Dave Gavitt Award as the Big East Tournament MVP after he led the 2005 Big East Tournament in total points (69) and helped Syracuse win the conference tournament title at Madison Square Garden.

Over his Syracuse career, Warrick finished with 529 made free throws on 803 attempts, ranked fourth at the school in career points (2,073) and career rebounds (1,025), and produced a 61-game streak of consecutive double-figure scoring that ranked among the program’s longest runs at the time, while also being credited with 297 dunks across his 135 games in Orange.
