I'll give this a review. Wizardman 16:26, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just from a skim I can tell this article needs a great deal of work before GA status.

There's a lot of unsourced paragraphs.
There's a lot of poorly worded/POV sentences that need to be either rewritten or removed, like " He became an excellent college center, continuing Georgetown's tradition of producing great big men."
Convert the list in college to prose.
The Hawks section is awfully tiny given that's when he had most of his success.
The media section is pointless; if those are important lump them into the rest of the article, if not remove (I'd say remove).
It's not that the article is too short, but once you cut down the useless stuff noted above you're not left with a huge amount on his basketball career, especially given how long it was.

Honestly, to get it to GA status it's going to need a top-to-bottom rewrite and restructuring, to the point where I don't see doing a sentence-by-sentence review being helpful, so it fails in its current state. Wizardman 16:43, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
