This was a declined speedy. This person fails WP:ATHLETE as though they were drafted by an NBA team, he apparently never played professionally that I can find. ArcAngel (talk) 23:58, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. For a variety of reasons:
 * Was a high draft choice in the NBA, and the NBA WikiProject seems to regard 2nd round picks as inherently notable
 * Played professionally at least in the Continental Basketball Association and United Basketball League
 * Was a star in college basketball
 * Due largely to #3, generates significant Google hits (even excluding hits that just note his draft position), which, due to the fact that his career largely predates the explosion of the internet, probably understates the true volume of coverage. Rlendog (talk) 16:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
