Well, Diamantidis doesn't lack any scoring ability, his percentiles in FG and 3 pointers are quite good. His low average scoring derives from the fact that he chooses not to shoot as often as other players do. He prefers assisting than shooting, but when needed he does shoot and score (look 2005 semi final vs France ) and thus I don't believe that in the main article it should be mentioned that he lacks scoring ability, because he has proven that he knows how to score.

Article looks to me like 40% original research, lacks maybe some neutral point of view? I have added couple of "citation needed" places, so that we can confirm this is not original research. If the text is simply copied from some other site, it should be clearly written who is of such opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.133.15.158 (talk) 02:59, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Diamantidis' position is point forward, and not point guard. There seems to be a misunderstanding here about that. Two different positions. Diamantidis plays at small forward, where he is used as a point forward. He does not, and has not in many, many years played at the point guard position.173.216.234.214 (talk) 22:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this article has a lot of problems right now. That includes the following:

• Only one reference is formatted correctly, the rest will have to be as well.
• Can't use Youtube as a reliable source.
• The WP:LEAD is pretty much what a lead should not be. It's almsot as long as the article itself, and rather than summarizing the rest of the article, is primarily stuff that's not included later on. It's also vastly overreferenced. If you need 25 refs in a lead then you're doing it wrong.
• There's no personal life info outside of his basketball career.
• For all the tone issues and puffery in the lead (see below), there's really not much information on his playing career; its just a bunch of stats with very little meat to go alongside it.
• Conversely, the prose on international career is better (probably the strongest part of the article) but is almost fully unreferenced.
• The tone of the article is essentially a puff piece, clearly written by fans. If sources says he's widely regarded that's one thing and that's fine, but having phrases like "demonstrate the level of his unparalleled success" and "profound impact on a rivalry full of abuse on both sides" if not encyclopedic.

This essentially needs to be rewritten from scratch. You've got some mostly good sources to use, and the meat does appear to be there, it just has to be turned into an encyclopedic article. I am failing this without a hold though, since it needs way too much work right now. Wizardman 16:23, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I will make sure the article gets rewritten in a coherent, encyclopedic way. Parisinos (talk) 21:16, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
