1973 NBA Draft

 * Nominator(s): — Chris! c / t 20:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC), User:Martin tamb

We are nominating this for featured list because it's up to FL standard.— Chris! c / t 20:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment To begin with I would both make it clear that the underclassmen are rare (lead the sentence in a way like "While most of those drafted were upperclassmen...", and a footnote (or another sentence) explaining the "hardship" rule. Staxringold talkcontribs 04:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've rephrased and added more information on the eligibility for the draft. — Martin tamb (talk) 13:42, 11 April 2010 (UTC)


 * What makes http://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=854&Itemid=103 a reliable source?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think this can be removed. There are enough refs to support the list.— Chris! c / t 22:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I know that it is not considered a reliable source, but every time I expanded the older draft articles, I always used this website together with NBA.com, APBR and basketball-reference. This website has some information that are not found in the other three main references, but I always support their info with another external references (see ref #7 and #17 which support the info from thedraftreview about 22nd and 31st pick). I know it shouldn't be listed as a reference but I just want to give the website credits for their information. However, if it should be removed, then I wouldn't oppose the removal. — Martin tamb (talk) 07:18, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I just removed it. So, hopefully everyone is satisfied.— Chris! c / t 01:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: First thing I noticed was that there is nothing about the draft's legacy. Was it considered a good or a bad one? (Doesn't look like it was good from what I could see but maybe there's something written) Doesn't have to be much but I'm sure there's a couple sentences written somewhere.

 * I don't think anything can be added. This year seems to be an average draft.— Chris! c / t 22:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine. What I would like to see added though is a note of the NBA Draft's delay to the 24th as a result of the John Brisker conflict. Looks like it happened more than once that year so perhaps only the delay itself needs a mention rather than each time it happened. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 23:07, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I added a footnote.— Chris! c / t 02:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Support. I found no serious problems with this list. Ruslik_ Zero 18:46, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
