Random Wax: 2020-2021 Illusions Basketball

20-21 Illusions: Hope everyone is enjoying the tourney so we'll keep the basketball coming.  Rose is in the twilight of his career but he was an MVP in only his third season though injuries soon stole his explosiveness.
Tobias Harris isn't the player he once was.  With Harden on the team it feels like he gets lost in the mix.  Kyrie is Kyrie.  We'll see how the Dallas experiment goes.  Dallas has struggled early after his arrival.  And Ben Simmons seems like a guy who'll never find his way.  Shame.
An orange parallel here.  Aleskej Pojusevski is a guy I've never heard of but has averaged 8 points a game for the Thunder over three seasons.  Campazzo and Maledon are still not prominent players for their teams.
Lauri Markkanen has always been a nice stretch 4 but dude found another gear with the Utah Jazz.  He wowed at the All-Star game and is averaging 24 PPG, 8 RPG while shooting 40% on seven three point attempts a game.  Chris Paul doesn't look like himself this year.  Time may have caught up to him.  He's not as involved in the game and I've seen teams pretty much not guard him.  Don't want to miss Porter and Johnson who are bothing having really good years.  Fun pack of cards!

  1. Always felt Lauri Markkanen didn't have a fair shot in Chicago, so I'm glad he's gotten some redemption. Thanks for showing off the cards!

    1. I only saw a few times in Chicago. Thought he was okay but nothing else. Another reason they don't contact me for GM jobs.
