One week from tomorrow, one of the most anticipated NBA Draft classes in many years will officially usher in the 2017-18 basketball collecting season -- and it will bring with it a hefty heat wave that's not likely to cool down any time soon. Indeed, next Wednesday's arrival of 2017 Contenders Draft Picks Basketball will be the first mainstream release to feature last season's biggest college stars -- and it will do so with an autograph-heavy playbook, college pageantry and a marked NBA twist.
One week from tomorrow, one of the most anticipated NBA Draft classes in many years will officially usher in the 2017-18 basketball collecting season — and it will bring with it a hefty heat wave that’s not likely to cool down any time soon. Indeed, next Wednesday’s arrival of 2017 Contenders Draft Picks Basketball will be the first mainstream release to feature last season’s biggest college stars — and it will do so with an autograph-heavy playbook, college pageantry and a marked NBA twist.
2017 Contenders Draft Picks Basketball will deliver on-card autographs from many of the top rookies who attended the recent 2017 Panini NBA Rookie Photo Shoot (including Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball, Jayson Tatum, Josh Jackson, Dennis Smith Jr. and many more) as well as brand-favorite inclusions such as Game Day Tickets (college stars), Season Tickets (NBA stars) and their compelling parallels, and School Colors.
On average, each hobby box of 2017 Contenders Draft Picks Basketball (18 cards per pack, six packs per box, one autograph per pack) will deliver six autographs, including one on-card, and one base parallel. The revealing Quality Control Gallery that follows should adequately set the tone for next Wednesday’s release. Enjoy the early look and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.

I love the look of the Lonzo card shown at the top of the page. It gives the card a very elegant & classy look.
When will a checklist be announced for this product?
what is happening with Panini Hoops?
The Lonzo Ball auto from the silver packs at Nationals was easily the most sought after card on the show floor, great to see some more of his ink heading to collectors with this release. Thanks Tracy!
