Random Wax: 2020-2021 Chronicles Basketball Hanger Box

2020-2021 Chronicles Basketball:  The NBA draft is tonight and you have to expect some wheeling and dealing as well as teams hoping they grab the next big player.  Kawhi was drafted with the 15th pick of the 2011 NBA Draft.  By the Pacers no less before being traded by Indiana with Dāvis Bertāns and Erazem Lorbek to the San Antonio Spurs for George Hill.
I really enjoy looking back at past drafts to see who was selected where and what players were selected ahead of them.  II also enjoyed looking at my pull in this box.  Great player after great player.
Hopefully the Blazers can build a contender around Dame.  They've already traded for PF Jerami Grant which is a nice pickup.  A lot of work to still do though.  The Hawks are also expected to make changes to be more competitive after struggling this season, one year after making it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Plenty of different designs in Chronicles to like and not to like but the variety is a big part of the appeal. 
Some nice rookie pulls with Ball and Pritchard.  There are rumors Charlotte is interested in Russell Westbrook but that makes zero sense.  But it makes zero sense for anyone to be interested in Westbrook at this point in his career with that contract.
Didn't even notice I featured two "Tyrese" in this photo.
Definitely a fun box.  We'll end it with one of my favorites, Anthony Edwards, who had a good sophomore year at just age 20.  Minnesota has to feel like they can be really good with the right roster moves.

  1. Nice Edwards! I'll be glad when basketball cards no longer have backgrounds of the bubble or fan-less games!

    1. I agree. They do capture life at that time but I'm ready for full crowds on cards!
