Trading Card Company lands the Top 10 NBA draft picks for upcoming basketball releases

North Las Vegas, NA (June 27, 2008) – Every year, Upper Deck rises above its competition by landing the best basketball players in the land to include in its upcoming NBA trading card sets. Hobby fanatics anticipate it and Upper Deck prides itself in always delivering the goods. This year is no exception as Upper Deck scored a 10 out of 10 by landing each of the Top 10 picks from last night’s talent laden NBA Draft.



Headlined by Memphis point guard Derrick Rose, who was selected No. 1 overall by the Chicago Bulls, this year’s NBA Draft is stacked with rising stars and Upper Deck will be showcasing each of these up-and-coming performers starting with its 2008-09 NBA Hot Prospects release in early October. Following Rose, the remaining nine picks – in draft order – are Kansas State power forward Michael Beasley (No. 2, Miami); USC shooting guard O.J. Mayo (No. 3, Memphis via Minnesota); UCLA point guard Russell Westbrook (No. 4, Seattle); UCLA power forward Kevin Love (No. 5, Minnesota via Memphis); Danilo Gallinari, a small forward from Italy (No. 6, New York); Indiana shooting guard Eric Gordon (No. 7, L.A. Clippers); West Virginia small forward Joe Alexander (No. 8, Milwaukee); Texas point guard D.J. Augustin (No. 9, Charlotte); and Stanford center Brook Lopez (No. 10, New Jersey).



All of these amazing athletes will be making their Upper Deck basketball debut in NBA Hot Prospects next fall (SRP $6.99 per five-card pack). Each box will include one autographed rookie patch card, the first of the season. These cards will be numbered to 399 or less.
