According to the press release on the LEGO site they will be sold as sets,
here is part of the press release:
"Beginning Oct. 28, children can visit www.LEGO.com/sports to find out the
first three NBA players who will be featured as LEGO mini-figures. The
players will be revealed through a fictional LEGO NBA Draft -- a process
whereby three standout NBA players will be "drafted" each week, through Dec.
16, to join the LEGO team of NBA mini-figures. The 24 drafted players will
be featured in collectible LEGO NBA player sets, containing a LEGO
mini-figure in their likeness and a LEGO Sports Upper Deck® trading card,
packed in eight sets of three each. The collectible mini-figure sets will be
available in January for $7.99 (USD). "
