Random Wax: 2022-2023 Hoops

22-23 HoopsKarl-Anthony Towns and the Timberwolves are having a great year securing the #3 seed in the Western Conference.  Minnesota has found a new gear with their defense this year and it's fun to watch.
I'm pretty happy with this design and when I started seeing discounted packs hitting the shelves I didn't hesitate to grab some.
Jalen Williams had an excellent season in OKC averaging 19 points per game while shooting 42% from 3.
Pat Connaughton and the Bucks really struggled this year after adding Damian Lillard.  Maybe they can figure it out next season similar to what happened with Minnesota this year after they traded for Rudy Gobert last year.
Jayson Tatum Hoops Tribute.  Those are very popular with collectors and it is a good design.  Grayson Allen, now a Phoenix Sun, led the league shooting 46% on 3s, shooting almost six a game.
Gordon and the Nuggets are a #2 seed this year but are still favored to come out of the Western Conference.  Nice photo of the aforementioned Damian Lillard.  Fun pack of cards and you'll see more of these.

  1. Panini missed an opportunity to make those Skyview inserts special. Had they used acetate in the center window those would have been sweet.

    1. That would have been a really nice element. Agree.

  2. Voting for Zion. Post-hype, but he's still young enough to put it together.

    1. He really is and showed some moxie when he did play in the playoffs.
