Random Wax: 2023-2024 Donruss Basketball

23-24 Donruss: The Oklahoma City Thunder are still fighting for their playoff lives in their second round series with the Mavericks, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is doing his part.  One of the best players in the league, he was acquired in the trade that sent Paul George to the Clippers.  If only LA had known...  This is a Green Holo Laser Parallel
Jayson Tatum and the Celtics punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals last night.  Six times in the last eight years!  Amazing run!
These guys are still young and finding their way in the league.
All these guys are key contributors to their team.  Max Strus was born in Hickory Hills, IL.
Lavine and Thompson could be in new cities come next year.  Lavine has a huge contract so he may be hard to move but I think the Bulls are motivated to move on from him.  Thompson is a free agent and no matter how hard it seems to move on from a Warriors legend, I think it is time.
Paulo Banchero came up huge for the Orlando Magic in the playoffs.  Even though they lost in seven games to the Cavs, he's a big reason they have big hopes for the future.
Love Donovan Mitchell and how he plays.  Injuries ended his playoffs early, but Cleveland still played Boston tough.

  1. It is funny that my two favorite cards in this pack are of Cavaliers playoff opponets. I like that Banchero insert and Tatum base but the Mitchell base is nice too.

    1. He was healthy in the card which is a plus. Shameless poke I know. I'd love to see him be healthy for a season and especially the playoffs.
