Not necessarily and in sports anything can happen.
Yeah players like Griffin and Kobe etc are signed by doesnt mean its hard to catch up with them etc. Even off season most players go away and are even uncontactable. Its a hard one but I agree players like Griffin and Kobe should have all autos in on time. It also comes down to NBA Licesning approval and more. Lots go on behind the scenes that I didnt know about before touring Panini.
