15 potential college basketball breakout stars: Desmond Claude, Tyrese Proctor and more

New York Times  

One of my favorite things about college basketball is watching players grow up from one season to the next. The Duke sophomore had a slightly better freshman season statistically than Haliburton and benefitted from moving to point guard midway through the season, while Haliburton didn’t get the keys until his sophomore season. Milos Uzan, Oklahoma sophomore guard In a league where it’s been really difficult for freshmen to even crack a rotation, Uzan looked like he belonged last season. Yohan Traore, UC Santa Barbara sophomore big Traore is at UC Santa Barbara after spending a year mostly buried on Auburn’s bench last season. He didn’t shoot the ball well as a freshman or this summer, but his free-throw shooting — 87.5 percent at Nova — gives some hope that eventually his jumper will come around.
