  • This article contains copyright infringements with whole sentences being copy/pasted from the "Personal" section of this site. I have not looked any further to see if there are other problems. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:35, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Although there is still a lot of duplicate wording between the article and the sources, I think much of it is permissible as the duplication largely consists of standard phrases such as "totaled three 20 point games, 14 double figure scoring games and four double figure rebounding games" and "averaged 15.0 points 13.5 rebounds 3.4 blocks 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game". Apart from that, the article is new enough and long enough and is neutral. The only hook that qualifies for DYK is ALT1 as the others do not have inline citations.
