Was just looking at the checklist or the 2023/24 Bowman University Chrome set...

It's missing so many top 20 projected guys (even moreso among the autos).

Given the caliber of international players and the g-leauge ignite and similar college-alternate teams, might be good for Topps to recalibrate these product (and retitle them as U-22 basketball or something, so they can capture all the potential draftable players in their sets)..

Unlike college football products (where basically everyone who might be draftable is in there), just won't be the case for basketball.

for example (going off of the cardboard site checklist), this year's product is missing the currently projected (and now that i look more closely, it doesn't have a bunch of college guys, like #4, 10,11,13, 15):
#1 (Sarr), #3 (Topic), #4, #10, #11, #13, #14, #15, #18.. and #2 (Holland, doesn't have autos).


Anyway just thought it was odd, but maybe that's normal, or maybe there's another product that's coming out that has everyone and their autos (may have to wait for Topps to officially take over the NBA maybE), if anyone knows of it, please post. Thanks.

The checklist is a huge fail.

I especially don't understand why they included Edey and Bacot *again*.

I know that Ron holland is heavily featured in the chrome McDonald's AA stuff. Heck all of the guys that are in bowman Chrome u already have autos in that product.

The checklist is missing some of bigger names in women's basketball. So they will still be without cards for a hot minute.

Rubin really dropped the ball this year on their bkb academia roadmap. If Bowman's Best was anywhere near as good as futbol de gringo, we'd all be post whoring on 6speedonline instead of wasting precious moments .gif bombing about practice squad jersey Scoot xrc's.
