Comment: Many sources of coverage, but fails the notability guideline .  He's a 15-year old generating coverage that primarily deals with his projected rank as a college recruiting prospect in 2023. It's a different if he was generating the incessant coverage of a teen player like Bronny James.  also gives the related example of GNG not necessarily being the end-all: {{tq|New companies and future events might pass WP:GNG, but lack sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:NOTNEWSPAPER ...|q=yes}} Too soon indeed

Comment: Sounds like some impressive stats but still routine local coverage. , for now he's shy of , , . Wikipedia is not a sports prospect tracker and that would fall into . If he trends as expected article can be re-created once he plays for USA Olympic, NBA drafted, and/or sets NCAA records

Comment: the references from the article are enough to pass . While a lot of the news coverage is just routine stuff about the games he's played, there is some non-routine coverage, including https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/mikey-williams, https://www.slamonline.com/the-magazine/mikey-williams-story/, and https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/spotlight-bright-as-mikey-williams-makes-his-high-school-debut/2176319

Comment: per . It should be noted that high school basketball players have a much higher standard of notability they must reach because of the fact that they are not in the NBA and as such they have much less media coverage. Some do reach that place, but not this article

Comment: That point is similar to the major issue I have. This and similar AFD that should have been relisted for further discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Josh Christopher (2nd nomination)|Here are  and even if they hover close the GNG with a reputable source or two, the entire premise of that coverage goes toward . These kids won't have sustained coverage if their projections don't pan out. Keep in mind, they aren't even NCAA or top amateur players (Olympics) that are NBA prospects, they're NCAA prospects that may or may not have a pro basketball future. Their entire media coverage is speculation and if they don't pan out, like many prospects do, they're not notable in the larger context of Wikipedia. Also I believe we're giving too much importance that their "local coverage" because it happens to be major markets. I suspect if this was coverage of John Doe player in the Roswell, NM newspaper, there wouldn't be even a question that they come close to GNG but because they're playing high school basketball in a major market, we're giving extra credibility to "local coverage." As I pointed out in the similar AfD, GNG guidelines make clear that the subject for a stand alone article should be  as well as Wikipedia is - i.e. Wikipedia is not a college sports prospect tracker
