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

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)
