Comments

Per MOS:ALLCAPS, the titles of newspapers in the citations should be converted to title case.

The first paragraph of the lead has four straight sentences that start with "He played" "He was" "he holds". The repetition of "he" could use some improvement.
- OK-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:56, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The one-sentence paragraph in "College career" should be merge into the previous paragraph. The previous paragraph and he one sentence both relate to CMU.
- Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:57, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The "Professional career" section should be combined into two paragraphs to break up the short, choppy paragraphs after his NBA aspirations. First paragraph: NBA, second: everything else.
