  • The two articles are new and submitted in time enough, long enough and reliably sourced. Hook is referenced. Pictures good. QPQ done. BOTH Good To Go.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:49, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, as a non-basketball fan, I don't understand the hook. Is a word missing at the end? What does it mean to be ranked? Yoninah (talk) 19:40, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
  • OK, but I don't see the hook fact in either article. Are you making your own connection between Wilson entering the draft and the team being ranked in the AP poll? Yoninah (talk) 18:33, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
  • Both articles say he was expected to enter the draft as of April 4, which was the time of the articles that the team was expected to be ranked. I have added the content about expected rankings to the Wilson article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 11:59, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you, but where does it mention the AP Poll? Yoninah (talk) 22:26, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, I'm still having trouble following your line of thinking. Two facts are being strung together in this hook and it might be SYNTH. I suggest coming up with a different, clearly- sourced hook. But if you wish to pursue this one, I'd like another reviewer to sign off on it. Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
  • It's after May 24. TonyTheTiger, will there be a new hook or not? If not, the SYNTH argument may well prove telling, and sink the nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:43, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
  • @TonyTheTiger: I still don't understand the connection between Wilson entering the draft and the team not being ranked, and I don't see any source that supports that statement; even the article doesn't mention it. I also don't see anything about an "AP Poll" in the ESPN, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, USA Today, and Yahoo! Sports sources. I believe a fact has to be mentioned in the sources, not implied by its absence. Are you sure you can't come up with a different hook? Yoninah (talk) 20:08, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
  • TonyTheTiger, ALT3 does not make sense grammatically. Please try again, and remember that it has to work as a sentence that starts "Did you know...". Thanks. (I've struck all the hooks to date; hopefully ALT4 will be workable. I've also removed the team logo due to the issues raised above; if you want the picture of Wilson to be used, please include "(pictured)" in the proposed hook.) BlueMoonset (talk) 18:23, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
  • ALT4 is fine: cited in both articles and sort of interesting (I adjusted the grammar slightly). Rest of the review per above. 97198 (talk) 10:41, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:57, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
