What to chase: Key rookie cards to target include Jayson Tatum and Lonzo Ball base rookies, along with any numbered parallels of the top five draft picks. The Micro Etch Rookies insert provides an alternative rookie card design worth pursuing.

Higher-end parallels of Stars of the NBA and Hardcourt Heroes inserts offer additional chase elements for set builders.
