Question about the 2013/14 products and the NBA draft

[mnvikingstwins]

Would Rodney Williams and Trevor Mbakwe (both projected to go in the 50s) be expected to have many autographs as rookies in all of the basketball products, and when would they first have cards in their college uniforms? I don't follow basketball much, but would be inclined to collect both of them if they go to teams with reasonable prices. Not sure how deep Panini normally goes for its RPA type of checklists.

If they are drafted, you can almost guarantee they'll have a variety of cards to choose from out there.

Good. Now just have to hope they don't go to the Lakers, Knicks, Bulls, or Heat to draw unreasonable prices.

Yes - Panini puts a ton of 2nd Round / Undrafted Rookies in their products ... Good for you too, as you can probably pick up their cards real cheap (As I've done w/ some guys)

Hopefully Trev makes his autograph a little more detailed once he starts signing stickers.

Don't expect them to have much in high-end products though. They probably won't wear enough jerseys to make jersey/patch cards out of lol

They should also appear in UD (if they do anything with basketball draft pics) and leaf.

if u are drafted in the 50s...dosent matter what city, you will be reasonably priced..

I'm not so sure. A few people here were trying to get Alexey Shved cards and Panini put him in Elite and maybe 1-2 other sets with no autographs. This was a guy getting decent playing time, too.

It can be a crapshoot with the undrafted guys who get signed or late 2nd rounders.
