What's Buzz-worthy: My only other looks at this one was via a pair of blasters that generally delivered well ... and this single pack carried with that theme with it presenting one strong younger veteran, the No. 1 pick, a Hall of Famer on an exclusive parallel and a variation of the Rookie of The Year -- a card that basically pays for the pack and could do well if graded. (I'm not big on that tiny image in a horizontal frame ... just looks so odd ... yet I might slab it up after I give it a closer look.) Not a bad break for a single pack at all in my mind and the printing and centering here seemed to be cleaner and overall better (still had a card or two with an issue) than almost all Prizm I have opened over the past year. If I was a regular NBA ripper, I'd probably do more of this as this one was a very solid pack. I know there is a lot of this one out there -- it's still sitting in stores from what I have seen lately in some places -- but there's always a chance that a key name on a rare card could be in there. It was to a degree here ... though I think printed odds might be something that Panini could consider on all releases so we know. (I don't expect it but since it's a new year I'll mention it.)

Product Grade: A
Pack Grade: A+ (this can be topped but it still felt like a solid pack)
Fun Grade: B+
