- I think we might get more pageviews for the following hook:
(ALT1) ... that Jabari Parker is projected to be the 2014 NBA Draft first overall selection?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
- Although I think ALT1 may get us more page views try this one on for size:
- (ALT2) ... that when high school junior Jabari Parker held an open practice, Mike Krzyzewski, Bruce Weber, Thad Matta, Bill Self, Roy Williams and Tom Izzo all attended?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:10, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
For ALT2 and original hook. Dates and lengths both good and overall sourcing looks good. ALT1 however is too strongly worded to be fully supported by cited reference which only claims "When you watch Jabari Parker and how he can do it all on the court all you think is future #1 overall draft pick (likely in 2014)." --Allen3 talk 20:17, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
- Then I prefer ALT2.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:22, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
