Comments

• Where do his positions of forward and guard come from?
  • I can't find where I got forward from. Guard is mentioned in the article (he was SG in college, PG professionally – I changed the infobox to say "Shooting guard / point guard").
• Where does height come from?
  • Added a ref.
• "after his aunt met argued his case" remove met
  • Done.
• Link varsity I guess
  • Done.
• "he led them to the first title for a Delaware team at the Slam Dunk at the Beach competition" What's that? Is that a state, regional, or national competition? You said it was the first Delaware team that won.
  • I added it was a national competition in the article.
• Link NCAA Tournament
  • Done.
• "setting a Xavier record" an Xavier
  • Done.
• "named first-team All-Atlantic 10 twice and second-team All-Atlantic 10 once" Add to infobox?
  • Done.
• "Considered small for shooting guard" Considered small for a shooting guard, also, I thought he was a forward/guard?
  • Done, and see above.
• "International Basketball League (IBL)" No need to put IBL if the abbreviation isn't used later. You didn't put CBA either.
  • Cut.

Spot checks

• Ref 1 and 29 are the same thing
• Ref 2 looks good
• I checked the "most famous plays" thing and it looks okay.
• Ref 23 looks good
