Keep. Playing in the NBA Development League does not bestow automatic notability, but a Google search indicates he is a notable player per WP:GNG. At the collegiate level he was the 2011 NAIA Player of the Year, and now he's one of the best guards in the D-League. Here are some articles I found on a quick search: NBADL Guard Sadiel Rojas's Unprecedented Efforts Propelling Him to Strong Start; Sadiel Rojas eyes ‘D’ League opportunity; Video: Sadiel Rojas Highlights (this is by SLAM Magazine, and if they feature a player it's because that player is worth keeping an eye on); Sadiel Rojas Named NABC-NAIA Division II Player of the Year.

Keep per Jrcla's comments above. No presumption of notability per either WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NBASKETBALL, but subject appears to have received sufficient in-depth coverage of his NAIA POY award in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. Article should be edited to give proper weight to the reasons for his notability; three or four added sentences could make this a respectable "start" class article.

Keep Meets WP:GNG. Life would be nicer if new articles at least included a few sources of significant coverage, even if they dont use them (yet). Until then, the burden falls on the nominator with WP:BEFORE.—Bagumba (talk) 22:55, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
