Incorrect information about when he started playing basketball via NYT article
In the New York Times article that was cited it claims he started playing basketball in high school, which is false. I went to the same grade school and middle school with him and we were on the same basketball team in middle school, so it is incorrect information that he started playing in high school. — Preceding

Reports of signing in free agency
@
Natg 19: I noticed you undid one of my edits, which included adding cited information (from a
reliable source) about a player's reported transaction, as well as changes unrelated to this reported transaction to improve the
lead of the article. I'm going to take the liberty of undoing your reversion while we discuss and build a consensus here, since I'm not sure what policy you are using to revert my edits. The closest thing to a guideline for reported sports transactions is
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports/Handling sports transactions; however, this is itself an essay, not guideline, and I note that it states that reporting signings of players, using reliable sources, is allowed. You'll see in my
edits that I added a sentence stating that it was reported that he was signing with a new team and provided RS for that new addition. This is encyclopedic and follows all guidelines. Neither the infobox nor name of current team was updated, since (as you point out) the signing has is not official. My edit followed all Wikipedia guidelines and is indeed consistent with the essay at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports/Handling sports transactions. I also note that using
WP:UNDO in this context isn't the best use of undo, given that the reversion also removed some changes to improve the lead in the same edit. Thanks for your discussion here.

Sorry for undoing your improvements to the lead. However, I disagree with the addition of the reported FA signing. It is unnecessary, as his official signing will (probably) be confirmed in the next few days. Though the information is sourced, it is still based on speculative reporting and is based on "NBA rumors".
