Full review to follow, but I'm not really impressed by the hook. It's great that his number was retired and all, but from what I can tell as well as searching about it, the UIC Flames basketball program isn't really that well-known or successful. It also doesn't help that he's the third player to have his number retired; it would have been more intriguing had he been the first. Perhaps if his number was retired by a much more famous program, for example by Duke, maybe the hook would have worked better instead. Maybe a different angle can be proposed here?

I had a little bit of difficulty identifying an interesting hook from the content I was able to cobble together.-

There's no need to move the actual DYK nom even when the article title changes. That would just further break things. As for the new ALT... eh, it's not great either. It's not uncommon for college or professional players to score thousands of points over their careers, especially if they have long ones.

Can an admin check if I added a second nominator correctly. I would also like a second opinion on whether anything needs to be done to address the page move.--

Article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been done. ALT2 is the best choice here: the source is in Polish so AGF, but a translation does seem to confirm the information; it's also cited inline. To answer the question above: there's no need to do anything on the page move part. The article can stay where it is, but the title of this nomination page does not need to be changed. I will leave it to the promoter to address the credits part, but I think TonyTheTiger's mention needs to be changed to nominator instead of make?

Restoring
Narutolovehinata5's tick after properly adjusting this template's contents to reflect the article move, and confirming that the new DYKmake created by
TonyTheTiger is properly constructed. An admin is not needed, just someone who is properly knowledgeable. All DYK templates should be adjusted after their article moves rather than hoping the promoter will catch the name change.
