What's Buzz-worthy: This one is all about the chase of the two names on the box -- mostly -- but it's a brand that can deliver a lot between its tiers and a bunch of colorful parallels ... and that's what this one did though I'm 0-for-2 on the biggest rookies and this one didn't include a serial-numbered parallel this time. Ultimately, it has about the same feel and with the Ionescu instead of a numbered parallel and then some other young players and notables in spot it feels about the same grade, too. ... There's likely a lot of this one made -- it wouldn't likely have been made save for the biggest rookies -- but it's worth the look at a modest price here ... or via hobby if you're a big spender. With Clark seemingly slotted for all-timer status from the start and already a college legend, this is worth the serious look on all fronts. A good name in a rarer spot could surprise well now ... and key names should be in demand later, too, as long as all goes as seemingly destined. I'll probably see if a third box is the charm if I spot these next time I'm out looking for boxes but may not do much more than that ... just can't collect it all here. But, that said, if WNBA is your thing this is easily a strong one you could dig into for years with all those parallels and tiers.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B+ (no Clark or Reese but some star power and tons of variety and flash)
Fun Grade: B+
