Amid six bottom-quarter finishes, Zach McChesney still produced one of the league's best NBA cards. Four of five calls hit, and 248.5 came with a share of 3rd.
October had already shown the ceiling. Toronto returned 112 on an MLB entry that placed 30th and earned 222. The empty boards made those peaks feel even farther away. His College Football Playoff card scraped together 5.5 and finished 242nd; the NFL postseason was blank at 239th, then March and golf both fell to 231st.
A 107-point World Cup portfolio steadied the close at 97th, and McChesney edged up 3 places. He still finished 233rd with 821.5, proof that contender-level cards cannot compensate for repeated trips to the bottom quarter.
