2020-21 Panini Basketball NBA Hoops will again carry on the tradition of being the first set to include the cards for this year’s rookie class in their pro uniforms. While the talent in this rookie class may not be as clear cut as the 2019-20 Panini NBA Hoops set, it will still offer collectors the chance to grab rookie cards of players such as LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, Cole Anthony, Tyrese Haliburton, and more. The hobby box release for this set was pushed back to February 3, 2021, due to the delayed start of the NBA season. It looks like this will mean all other 2020-21 basketball sets will see their release dates pushed back including hobby favorite Prizm Basketball.
