Description

The 2019 NBA Draft was one of the most hyped of all time. With high-flying Zion Williamson at the top and his two Duke teammates not far behind, the most intriguing pick of the entire draft was at the fifth spot, where the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Vanderbilt guard Darius Garland. The versatile guard is a talented scorer, hard-working defender and has exceptional vision for a young player. In high school, he was a McDonald’s All-American and was widely viewed as the top point guard prospect in the nation in the 2018 class. The plan in Cleveland is for him to team up with Collin Sexton the eighth pick of the 2018 NBA Draft to form one of the league’s top backcourt tandems for years to come. Garland has autographed and inscribed ‘#5 Pick ’19’ on this limited edition (100) indoor/outdoor Spalding basketball in silver paint pen. His signature and inscription are deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated’s Five-Step Process.
