Random Wax: 2021-2022 Contenders Basketball

21-22 Contenders:  Tonight is the NBA draft.  Steph Curry was taken 7th overall in the 2009 NBA Draft.  James Harden, Steph, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday and Blake Griffin were the highlights from that draft.
Speaking of that draft and Harden and Jrue.  Kawhi was taken 15th overall in the 2011 NBA Draft.  
RJ Barrett has become a solid shooting guard in the league.  Last season he averaged 20 points per game shooting 36% from deep.
Donovan Mitchell was taken 13th overall in the 2017 NBA Draft which also featured Jayson Tatum, De'Aaron Fox, Derrick White and Bam Adebayo.
Paul George was picked 10th overall in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft.  Will he still be a Clipper next season?  Inquiring minds want to know.
Joker was taken with the 11th pick in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft.  Definition of a steal.  Outside of games played in 20-21, he has not led the league in a major statistical category.  Joel Embiid and Julius Randle were also highlights of the 2014 draft.  Here's to hoping the Atlanta Hawks just don't screw up the #1 pick in the draft tonight.

BREAKDOWN:
22 – Total Cards
1 – 2021 Draft Class
1 – Game Night Ticket
1 – Green Game Ticket
1 – International Ticket
