Delete. I'm finding no reliable sources that discuss this player. The only references in the article are press releases and the like; not the level of coverage we require. That said, I'm happy to switch to Keep if sources become available. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 12:53, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep coverage in RS sources available, such as this ESPN piece (about his team, but speaks about him individually) and this Washington Post blog (or "bog", who names these things?). Although notability isn't inherited, the fact that he is on a team owned by the NBA's Gilbert Arenas means that press is more likely. The Interior (Talk) 15:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no evidence of wp:notability. The one reference that looked like a possibility was to a blog type page which this is no longer on. North8000 (talk) 15:13, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the two refs from above. The Interior (Talk) 20:01, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you the best but even those each just mention him briefly. But I have struck my vote because other sources look like a possibility.

delete nowhere near notable enough.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 17:19, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
