Great work! One thing: You mention Kobe being the first besides Garnett to go from high school to the pros in 20 years but technically Shawn Kemp went from high school to the NBA since he never played college ball. You are technically correct but perhaps an addition to the sentence that mentions Shawn Kemp would make sense considering Shawn Kemp went from high school to the NBA without intermediate level experience. You are technically correct but perhaps an addition to that sentence mentioning Shawn Kemp would make sense.

Kobe Bryant[edit]
Hi! I saw that you posted to the talk page about this article, where you asked if the sexual assault section should be expanded. I do think that it's good to ask questions about this, however I would not recommend that you work on this for your class assignment for a few reasons. The first is that right now Bryant related articles will be more heavily edited and viewed, so it would be harder to find content to potentially add and it would also be subject to more scrutiny. Also, the topic of sexual assault is something that is going to be inherently controversial in and of itself (for obvious reasons) so this by itself would also make it a more difficult area to edit.
I would recommend working on an article that's less developed, to be honest. If you do decide to edit the Kobe Bryant article, I would recommend discussing any potential additions on the article's talk page before moving anything live, so you can gain consensus, as an article of this type and the topic area will be something that will require more careful editing and lengthier discussion with the community.
