The last group here are the basketball players and coaches who were born in, went to high school in, or later resided in Iowa. Also included in this group are the players of the Cedar Rapids Silver Bullets or Waterloo Hawks. Lastly, there are the coaches from the Iowa Energy/Wolves and Cedar Rapids River Raiders.
The top 7 players are who'd you'd expect. The big three from my youth who all went to Kansas (#7 Raef LaFrentz, #6 Nick Collison, and #2 Kirk Hinrich). Three recent players who are still involved in the NBA (#4 Doug McDermott, #3 Kyle Korver and #1 Harrison Barnes). Lastly, a new addition to the checklist this year when I added the Silver Bullets, #5 John Starks.
Overall I added 85 cards to the collection with a large chunk from the Silver Bullet additions (Starks 32, Donald Royal 10) and Harrison Barnes (15). Along with Starks and Royal, I added first collection cards of Randy Allen, Ben Gillery, Scott Roth and Bobby Lowther.
Now that basketball is done, I can shift to Football, the collection I'm most excited to update. Baseball will probably have more updates, but we shall see!
