What's Buzz-worthy: I'm coming down to the last of my initial retail finds for this one and, well, it still delivers pretty well though this one is not as overloaded as others. It included appearances from both Zion Williamson and Ja Morant as well as a few other rookies who should get looks. For more thoughts on this one, check out my other breaks ... there have been a few -- and there's only one more to come unless there's somehow a retail miracle to come.
