 * Delete' According to WP:NHOOPS, he needs to have wona major award in the D-league to be notable for that tenure alone.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear in case anybody's not sure, he's a an assistant coach in the NBA Development League rather than a player — but that's not an automatic notability freebie either, so it doesn't change anything as such (although it does mean you have to be careful not to misjudge him against the inclusion criteria for players). That said, the sourcing here is entirely to primary sources, with no indication of reliable source coverage about him shown, and nothing claimed in the article grants him a presumption of notability in the absence of enough sourcing to pass WP:GNG.
