Lead

  • He was granted a fifth year of eligibility — Is this discussed in the article? Why was he granted the additional year?
  • The lead is in reverse order. The first paragraph discusses his current status (NBA/G League); the second paragraph discusses his college career; and the final paragraph (which is a sentence) discusses his high-school years. The first paragraph is fine, but I'd move the discussion of high school at the front of the second paragraph. Then, you can add a short third paragraph discussing what happened after college (undrafted; signed with Pelicans; debuted in NBA and then sent to G League).

High school career

  • Why no "early life" section before this?
  • This sections includes five meaty paragraphs, and could use subsections to break it up
  • The first paragraph tells how he was highly recruited, but says nothing about why. Surely he must have done well, e.g., having a high scoring average. Can any of this be added?
    • Do you realize how rare a 6'11" incoming freshman is? That is why in all probability? If a 6'11" kid shows up who has only seen video games of basketball, he would be recruited. If the basketball coach heard he likes video games of basketball, he would try to lure him to the gym.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 10:23, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
  • By December 2017 — What year was he at this point?
  • alongside teammate Justin Moore. ... joining junior teammate Moore — Teammate, or junior teammate?
  • official visit rules — What are these? I can guess, but perhaps a short explanation (or even just a cite which gives context) could be added.
  • the traditional skill set for a basketball big man — Which is?
    • It is not really defined in the article although the article uses several phrases that are considered big man phrases: "back to the basket", "near the rim", "on the inside", "down low", "the post". Big man skills are any of these phrases with the word skills attached to the front or back of it.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:21, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I've connected this article to one wiki article and one redirect section that relate to this skill.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:22, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
  • a Casey Morsell-led St. John's College High School — Why mention Morsell? He doesn't appear to have an article, so why is he notable?
    • Well, in high school he had to have been a big time star because he went to Virginia and got over 20 min/game as a freshman. This was the Dickinson high school section. It turned out that he decided to spend his career in the ACC, where he did not accumulate honors. He did get an ACC player of the week award and won an ACC tournament, but in retrospect, I guess he is never going to be a blue link for his play. I have removed his mention.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:28, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
  • In his junior season, Dickinson averaged 17.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. On February 11, 2020 — Are we still in his junior season in February 2020? This section is fairly confusing in terms of signposting—this could be remedied by subsections, e.g., one for each year.
  • There's a year-old {{citation needed}} template here.
  • In April 2019 — We were just talking about what happened in February 2020. I'm lost.
  • for John Beilein's staff when Beilein announced he would be departing to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers in May 2019 — Departing what? He hasn't been introduced yet, so we don't know who he is.
  • Juwan Howard was named coach on May 22 — Coach of what team?
  • cut his list to Duke, Florida State, Michigan and Notre Dame — Duke wasn't on the list before, no? If so, was he really cutting his list? Refined? Updated?
  • In April 2023, MLive.com reporter Andrew Kahn reported that Dickinson verbally committed Michigan in early December [2019] — This is out of order. The primary takeaway is when it happened, not when it was reported. This should be before the Twitter announcement; perhaps you could add a footnote saying that it was not reported until three and a half years later.
  • Can Rancho Christian be linked?
  • Dickinson was invited to play in the Jordan Brand Classic. — This feels thrown in and disconnected. Anything else that can be said about it, and/or can the timeline with the surrounding events be made more clear?
  • number two Washington metropolitan area prospect — Where in the source does it say this?
    • This is strongly implied by the text "Rising sophomore forward Isaiah Todd on Friday was named the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2020 by ESPN. DeMatha center Hunter Dickinson also made the top 10, at No. 9." This text implies that the only other player to make the top 10 was Dickinson.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:29, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
    How does being the #9 national prospect translate to being the #2 Washington prospect? --Usernameunique (talk) 04:55, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
    In general it would not. In this context the implication is that the other player in our coverage area that fared well in the rankings is Dickinson. We are talking about a very specific subject of high school basketball recruiting as it relates to the Baltimore Sun I guess it could just mean among Maryland players rather than the whole DMV.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:03, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
    If the implication is there, that's one thing. But where does the article even talk about the rankings of Washington metropolitan area prospects? --Usernameunique (talk) 06:19, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
    "Rising sophomore forward Isaiah Todd on Friday was named the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2020 by ESPN. DeMatha center Hunter Dickinson also made the top 10, at No. 9."-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:04, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
    That's about national rankings. Originally, the article stated that In June 2017, he was ranked as the number nine prospect in the national class of 2020 and number two Washington metropolitan area prospect (behind number one overall Isaiah Todd) by ESPN. You used only one source to support that sentence, but that source (from which you just quoted) doesn't appear to say anything about the Washington metropolitan area rankings. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:30, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
    I have already removed the Washington metropolitan area rankings content.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:09, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
  • Is it correct that he was MVP in the March 6 game? Assuming so, worth adding?
    • Do you have a source on this subject?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:37, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
      • Your 14th source says On Feb. 26, Dickinson helped lead the Stags to their first Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship since 2011. A week later, he was named Most Valuable Player of another event DeMatha won. Just a sophomore, he agreed he has elevated his play since the end of the regular season. It doesn't expressly say it was the March 6 game, but it may well have been. Can you find something that fully says that? (Even a schedule of their games that shows that that's the only game they played in that time could potentially do it.) --Usernameunique (talk) 04:57, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
        • Another is modifying event and not MVP, so we can't go there.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:06, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
          What do you mean Another is modifying event? --Usernameunique (talk) 06:19, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
          • It does not say he won another MVP it says he won MVP of another event.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:28, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
            The source says he won the MVP of an event that was played a week after the February 26 WCAC championship game. A week after February 26, 2018, was March 5. March 5 is pretty close to March 6. March 6 is when Dickinson scored 31 points in the Maryland private-school championship. Sure sounds like that could have been the game for which he was named MVP. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:31, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
            OK.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:15, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
            I see it's been added, but the source needs to be added too. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:36, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
            Following up on this one. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:21, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
            Fixed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:17, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
  • The second paragraph of the "Senior" section is a bit disjointed. Dickinson earned 2020 All-Met Player of the Year and WCAC Player of the Year honors is followed by several other accolades, before we get to He graduated as a three-time first-team All-WCAC selection, which would seemingly fit better with the clause just quoted. Then we get a sentence about the Jordan Brand Classic, which is in turn followed by He was joined on the All-Met first team by Roach, Timberlake, Corey Dyches, Trevor Keels, Benny Williams, Avery Ford, Xavier Lipscomb, Ronald Polite and future teammate Terrance Williams—which, again, would seemingly fit better with the first clause I quoted. I'd try to work together the three quoted portions.
  • Dickinson had been one of the key class of 2020 targets (along with Jabri Abdur-Rahim) for Michigan head coach John Beilein's staff when Beilein announced he would be departing to coach the Cleveland Cavaliers in May 2019. Juwan Howard was named Michigan head coach on May 22 and made an offer to Dickinson on June 26. The Detroit Free Press reported that Dickinson said Michigan was the most aggressive pursuer of his talents. In July, Dickinson listed the top seven contenders for his services: Purdue, Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Providence. By that August, Dickinson was ranked 30th in the national class of 2020 by 247Sports. This is way out of place. It has nothing to do with the subsection ("National team"), and it takes us back in time, since two paragraphs above, we're told that Dickinson already committed to Michigan.
  • From the sounds of it, he wasn't ultimately selected for the national team. Is that correct? Is there a source that can be used to expressly say that? --Usernameunique (talk) 18:39, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
Added.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:29, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
  • In line with the above, the "Recruiting" section is repetitive of what is in the "Senior (2019–20)" section regarding recruiting. If you're going to have a standalone recruiting section, maybe it's best to move everything there, and not mention it in the senior section.
    Looks good, thanks. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:40, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Freshman season

  • The first paragraph is quite large and could be broken into two.
  • Dickinson went on to earn the award 7 times — Before this, the paragraph was very detailed, but then—as the season likely entered its most important games—it suddenly switches to a very high-level gloss of the rest of the season.
  • They reached the elite eight round of the tournament — Similarly, this says nothing about Dickinson's performance in the tournament.
  • Dickinson led Michigan — During the regular season? Postseason? Full season?
  • He helped Michigan extend its list to three straight years with a player on the All-Freshman team — There are two issues with this. First, it's unclear whether it's the Big Ten All-Freshman team, or a larger (e.g., all of the NCAA) All-Freshman team. Second, the focus is on Michigan rather than Dickinson. The focus should be on Dickinson winning the award, after which the Michigan streak can be mentioned.
  • No. 19/No. 22 Northwestern ... No. 21 Wisconsin ... No. 4 Ohio State — Was Wisconsin 21 in both polls? Same re Ohio State.

Sophomore season

  • For the third time in school history — Again, the focus is on Michigan rather than Dickinson.
  • Big Ten Conference Player of the Week for the week of January 17–23, 2022 — This is inconsistent with the previous section, where you gave only the first day of the week (e.g., for the week of December 28).
  • This section jumps around from the regular season, to Dickinson being named to the Second Team All-Big Ten, to the NCAA tournament, back to his end-of-season stats and accolades.
  • What was Michigan ranked in the tournament, and how did it do?
  • Similar to how the freshman section started out with copious detail and then skims through the rest of the season, this section is fairly light on detail as to how Dickinson did during the season.
    • Honestly, aside from career highs and performances that are player of the week worthy, I don't know that much regular season content is really necessary. In the future, further detail on his college career would probably be a bit much. I border on overinclusion of content for college basketball players.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:53, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
    I get the point, and given that he wasn't eligible for Freshman of the Week anymore, there are few performances that would be award-worthy. It's still a bit jarring to go from so much game-by-game detail in the Freshman section, to so little here. It might be worth looking at some of the game recaps to see if he's called out for doing anything noteworthy—even if it didn't lead to an award—but I won't make that a requirement for the GA review. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:43, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
    • Keep in mind he was an All-American as a Freshman and not as a Sophomore or a Junior. You should expect to have more highlights in seasons when you are All-American. He wasn't even first team All-Big Ten as a sophomore.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:47, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
  • You hint that NIL played a role in Dickinson's return, but don't expressly say so. The cites that are used for that sentence has more information (e.g., Dickinson talking about how NIL "definitely opened it up for me"), and it looks like this source has some information about his NIL deals.

Junior season

  • There's inconsistency throughout the article as to whether first/second/third team are spelled out, or designated as 1st/2nd/3rd.
  • He described the visits as having been scheduled as unplanned. — If they were scheduled then they weren't unplanned, no?
  • Dickinson took unofficial visits to his hometown programs Maryland and Georgetown who both had changed coaches since his high school recruitment. He described the visits as having been scheduled as unplanned. His high school coach, Mike Jones, had become an assistant coach at Maryland. — The two book-end sentences should be put together or combined, given that they're discussing the same subject, but split up by an unrelated sentence.
  • The final paragraph feels out of order. The reasons for him entering the portal should be mentioned up front, not at the end. That is, it should begin with him entering the portal, then discuss the reasons for doing so, then discuss the process of visits/transferring.
  • I caught one hyphen that should be an en dash, but there may be others.
    • Litterally a needle in a haystack given the shape of hyphens. My first guess was a team season using YYYY-YY, I have checked all of those. Can you give me a little more info?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:14, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
    There were a couple other team seasons using hyphens that I just caught. Since the most prominent use of en dashes is for number ranges, I would try CTRL+Fing for 0-, 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 9-. That should catch most of them. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:30, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
      • Lordy, I can't believe you got me to do that.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:43, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
        I laughed out loud at that comment. For what it's worth, not all that you changed actually need en dashes. In "12-man team", for example, the dash is being used used a compound adjective, so should be a hyphen. Similarly, ISSNs take hyphens rather than en dashes. But not to worry: I'll take a look through the article and correct them. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:51, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
  • per social media post — What does this mean? Would a "social media post" be reliable?
    • A market value of $1700 ($1826.6 in 2024) per social media post, means that anyone who wants to partner with him has to pay him that much to make a single post on his social media.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:39, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
    Got it. I had read it as saying that a social-media post had estimated that he had a market value of $1,700. Can this be clarified? Also, the passive voice is used in saying that Dickinson's 2022–23 market value had been estimated. Who did the estimating? --Usernameunique (talk) 21:35, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
  • Dickinson's departure would make way for returning sophomore Tarris Reed. — Make way for Reed to do what?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Usernameunique (talk • contribs) 21:30, 11 January 2026 (UTC) -TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:47, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
    Fixed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:25, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Senior season

  • No. 4/4 Houston — Is the "/4" really needed, given that it's the same ranking?
  • He became the third active player with 1000 career rebounds and 2000 career points — Who are the others? The article is generally good about saying who others are in situations like this, so a bit odd to not see them here.
  • a four seed. They were eliminated in the second round by number 5 seed — There's inconsistency here, and throughout the article, in whether numbers are spelled out.
    • I because rankings go from 1-25, I am leaving all of those in numbers, but I am trying to convert seeds to words, Since Michigan would almost never be below a 12 seed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:48, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Dickinson became the 17th consensus All-American for Bill Self as coach at Kansas, marking the school's third consecutive season with such a recognition (Ochai Agbaji in 2022 and Jalen Wilson in 2023). He was a consensus second team selection. — Another example of the significance to the school (and coach) being explained first. Instead, the fact that he was a consensus second-team selection should be listed first, followed by the significance to the school/coach.
  • He was the first men's basketball player to earn All-American recognition at two different schools. — This should go in the previous paragraph where it discusses him receiving All-American recognition.
  • On February 5, Dickinson earned a third Big 12 Player of the Week award — Did he also get Newcomer of the Week? Seems that if you're the best player, and also a newcomer, than you'd also be the best newcomer.
    • PoTW is the more prestigious award. It is not clear their logic. If you look at the bottom of the source. By the time of this award, he had won 3PotWs and 3NotWs but they only overlapped in 2 weeks. It is a mystery to me.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:54, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
  • Although Kansas was not the school that had offered him the highest NIL compensation package during his transfer recruitement, his 2023–24 earnings were estimated at $586,000 (including Wendy's and Adidas sponsorships as well as a University of Kansas affiliate collective) according to a Fansided report. — What is the rationale for including this here, rather than in the discussion above about him transferring?
    • Transferring was a decision to play his first year at Kansas. This was about his decision to play his second year at Kansas.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:48, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

5th-year season

  • number one-ranked-team in the country. It marked the 5th time in school history that the team began the season ranked number 1 — Another example of one/1. In general, the article should be reviewed with an eye to WP:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers.
  • On November 26, 2024, Dickinson was ejected from a game against Duke after kicking Maliq Brown in the face. — Anything more on this?
  • 13–18 shooting — Should this be formatted differently, e.g., 13/18, or 13-for-18?
  • The section is missing discussion of the postseason tournaments.
  • There's inconsistency throughout the article in whether first/second/third team recognitions are hyphenated (first team/first-team) and capitalized (first team/First Team).
    • When first-team is an adjective (e.g. First-team All-American Selection) has a hyphen. When first team is a noun, (selected to the first team) has no hyphen. Does this clarify the issue.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:58, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
    Makes sense in theory, except that we have first team recognition (no hyphen), First Team recognition (caps; no hyphen), second team recognition (no hyphen), third team All-American recognition (no hyphen), and third team selections (no hyphen). --Usernameunique (talk) 05:53, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
    How about now?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:40, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Professional career

  • On June 27, 2025 after going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft — We're missing a step here. What happened between the end of his college career and the draft? Declaring for the draft, projections, scouting reports, etc.
    • Keep in mind, he was out of eligibility. Thus, there is no story for the press. When someone has eligibility there is a lot of interest in whether he will go pro or return to college. That said, there were probably mock draft projections. However, if he was not in any mock draft projections, he will not show up in searches for that either. I.e., if no one thought he would be drafted, there will be no press. Furthermore, many mock drafts only focus on the first round. Thus, if there was consensus that he was a 2nd round pick at best, there might be little press.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:39, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
    I think there should be two sentences here. First, "Dickinson went undrafted in the 2025 NBA draft, held on [dates]." Then, a sentence about signing the two-way contract. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:54, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
  • It's a bit unclear where Dickinson has been spending his time. Was he on the Pelicans' roster at the beginning of the season, and then sent to the G League? Any discussion on when he was sent and why?
    • Dickinson is on a two-way contract. This means he will be active on the NBA roster on some nights and on the NBA G League roster some nights. The article already has him appearing in an NBA game and then being in the G League when that season started. You could get dizzy WP:CRUFTing up his travel back and forth between New Orleans and Birmingham on paper and in actuality. It is not an encyclopedic pursuit.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:46, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
  • I realize that we're discussing things that are less than a month old, but any discussion on how he's done subsequently in the G League?
    • Unless he has a spectacular game/week/month G League content seems to be reverse-optimized for search engines. You can't find it. Unless he gets League POTW, POTM honors or sets some major team record, not much is worth including in his bio, which is already ripe for reduction. FWIW, I found a 17 point/21 rebound/5 assist performance from December 11. I doubt 21 rebounds is a record, but it may be a sign that he is doing well. I can see he is averaging 15.2 points/10.7 rebounds (8th)/2.9 assists/0.4 blocks through his first 10 games. Maybe he has a shot at All-star or All-League recognition. Nothing worth posting on WP.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:59, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

    • There are dozens of University of Michigan Athlete bios that I have worked on with the former stated publisher (CBS Interactive). Recently, the Board of Regents seems to be the publisher. I don't feel it is necessary to stress about which way the wind is blowing. These were correct at the time in general although, I may have continued to use the term out of habit past the change date. Do you really feel it is necessary to convert to the 2025 stated publisher?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:00, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

    More likely, you copied the template for a SI article with the same title, but didn't change the title. In any event it's now fixed. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:17, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
  • #135 — ESPN is in the work parameter rather than the publisher parameter.
  • #143 — Elsewhere, Big 12 Conference is given instead of Big12sports.com.
  • #156 — This is from The Athletic, not directly from The New York Times.

Overall

  • TonyTheTiger, the article is in generally good shape, although it presents a lot of information and could use some work in terms of structure/organization. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:54, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • @Usernameunique:, I have a few questions. I have resolved most of your issues.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:38, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

    Thanks. I'll take a look at the responses in the next few days. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:02, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
    TonyTheTiger, as you have seen, I've taken a second pass through the article and have made some additional (and predominantly minor) responses/comments. We're almost there. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:19, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
    By the way, I see that SI published an interview with Dickinson a couple days ago. Not sure if there's anything worth adding from it, but just wanted to make sure you'd seen it. In any event, it won't impact the review. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:55, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
    Nothing there. The one article I have vacilated on including was this one. I am not sure where the WP:BLP policy is regarding this. A couple of time I have overindexed on the negative in my WP career and feel a bit guilty.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:24, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
    That doesn't strike me as particularly noteworthy—from the article, it comes across as fans booing in frustration. I did notice in passing, however, that some articles mention that Dickinson had something of a bad-dude reputation as a college player; is that something worth including somewhere? --Usernameunique (talk) 05:55, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
    I think there have been mentions of him trying to be the villain, but I am not sure what to make of this for a ENWP BLP. I doubt it will translate at the pro level anyway. When you are one of the best players, it is fun to be the guy the opposing fans like to hate, but when you are vying to be a scrub that is a bit different. No one is going to go to a Pelican's game to boo Dickinson when he is on the road and there won't really be a reason for Pelicans fans to boo him for disappointing them either since he was undrafted and never had a big contract.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:20, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
    That's an interesting point—it may be easy and fun to play up the "villain" when you're good, but if you're just trying to get a spot on the bench, that's going to be harder to do. If someone is actively leaning into a role, I don't see it as a BLP violation to mention it somewhere, particularly if it helped defined his time in college; the article on JJ Redick, for example, has a paragraph on the abuse he faced for being good (Grayson Allen, by contrast, would perhaps require a more judicious approach). But up to you if you want to include it somewhere or not. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:58, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
    If 1. we aren't going to cover the booing for not delivering up to Kansas level expectations for a Preseason All-American, 2. he is not going to be booed for not living up to a for signing a big contract or being a high draft and not delivering, 3. He is not going to be the star that the opposing teams love to hate, I think we can just drop it. I don't feel he was at a Christian Laettner level of opposing fan hate, and I don't think the disappointment hate from Kansas fans is really encyclopedic. Laettner went on to become an NBA All-star and was a deserving subject of I Hate Christian Laettner.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:55, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
    Sounds good. There are a still a few comments above that haven't been addressed, after which this is ready to be promoted. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:53, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
    TonyTheTiger, I've gone through this again, and am passing the review now. Nice (and very detailed) work on this article. Cheers, --Usernameunique (talk) 20:07, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
