The year 2018 spawned generations of talent with the 2018 NBA Draft class, which has been a boon to the NBA card industry. Deandre Ayton went first to the Phoenix Suns, who desperately needed a big, talented man, while the Sacramento Kings picked Marvin Bagley III as their second. Luka Doncic was then drafted third by the Atlanta Hawks, and Jaren Jackson Jr. was selected fourth by the Memphis Grizzlies.
