What’s Buzz-worthy: My first one of these was loaded with multiple cards for the top five picks or so in the NBA Draft last week so this one is perhaps back to reality with them still showing up but not in several spots. These boxes ($45) have a simple lineup -- Silver and Pink Ice Prizms for all 100 base cards (80 base prospects and then subsets that include 15 Crusade cards and five Global Prospects). That's it other than Pink Ice prospect autos that are in their own pack here. There's literally nothing else to be found here which prompts one to try other formats for other colors and types of parallels and textures. The year after Zion Williamson and Ja Morant will be different but there are still names that should be in demand once they arrive on the hardwood of the NBA and this is one of the starting points. This one is purely guys who have not yet set foot on an NBA court and the base set includes players on more than one card -- and that means double the shots at notable names. The Pink cards are the obvious highlights here and this one should be a go-to for college fans for sure. Over time, this one will take a back seat to similar releases that will have all of those better guys in their NBA threads. For now, though, this one is a release with some strong potential.

Product Grade: B+

Fun Grade: B
