Al Horford is one of the best reminders that 2007-08 has more rookie depth than a pure Durant retelling suggests. His Exquisite rookie sits in the /225 autograph-memorabilia continuation rather than the four-card /99 summit, which helps the archive show how the year’s rookie ladder is actually tiered.

Jeff Green is part of the Seattle-linked supporting cast that gives Durant’s rookie year more actual shape. His /225 autograph-memorabilia rookie and separate Year One Autographs card help show that 2007-08 is a layered rookie release rather than a one-card headline.
