Non-notable college basketball player. Played on various minor-league teams after college but never suited up for an NBA team. Played a total of 21 minutes in one season for a German league pro team. Also fails general notability guidelines. Last played in 2009, unlikely to become any more notable. Rockypedia (talk) 18:15, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He actually meets WP:NBASKETBALL having played in the Australian National Basketball League. But I would also argue he meets GNG (even if barely) with articles like this and this and this. Rikster2 (talk) 14:28, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He meets WP:NBASKETBALL as he played for the Gold Coast Blaze of the National Basketball League (Australia). I incorporated the sources provided by Rikster into the article and added a bit more. Also, he actually averaged 21 minutes for German club ALBA Berlin, both in five games in the ULEB Cup [1] and in 27 games (22 starts) combined in the Basketball Bundesliga regular season and playoffs[2].
