Who Is Your Breakout Player This Year?

[UNTLifer]

I am going with the man in the middle, Abou Ousmane.  I thought he gave solid minutes in the Purdue win and the year watching Big Zach will do him wonders.  I also think he and Wright will give Loftin from La Tech fits.

[MeanGreenTexan]

For me, it’s Rubin Jones.

Although, Abou is certainly capable, and Hamir Wright should also be considered!

I am going to go with Bryce Zephir.   Didn't start at his juco, goes on growth spurt and ends up signing late at NT.

McCasland saw something, and I am betting he turns out to be something special.

Agree that Zephyr is the dark horse but I think Tylor will be the biggest contributor this season.

Gonna go with Thomas Bell. I see him starting this year.

[UNTLifer]

Chances we have a starting five of all lefties?

He started every game last year, so I agree he will start.

Breakout player? Drez will play the full season and be great all season, unlike last year where it was just cusa tournament/ncaa tournament 

[denton_days]

I'll put my eggs in the Abou/Hameir basket. Anyone have an idea who will be starting for us at the 4/5? Looking around the conference, there seems to be some very good 5's leading teams. Would hope we could control the paint with a breakout player.

[Magic95Fan]

I think/hope that Perry is going to take CUSA by storm. I just have this feeling he is going fill Hamlet's shoes nicely and pick up where he left off.

[southsideguy]

I hope there is a new one every game.

[MeanGreenNOLA]

Gotta be Rubin Jones. Big body guard with a strap. Him and Drez will be a great backcourt

[greenminer]

Are we gonna get reg season Drez, or postseason Drez?

[GrayEagle]

Post season.  He should be our best 3-point shooter.

Late on this, but I think tournament Drez is here to stay. If he keeps the hair he had during the run, I think we’re fine🤣

Not to

but he's looking good.  Smooth around the basket.  Still has room to grow but love his game.

[greenminer]

Don’t know exactly where Ousmane’s ceiling is, but I think there is room in this offense for him to do more.  Can’t explain it, but I feel like he is expected to do more and that ”more” is the missing piece that would make us a great team. Last night I got the feeling that the guys around him are trying to “push him” or “open him up.”

obviously, one can argue depth is a major factor holding us back, too.

[UNTLifer]

He is still young, but he is basically providing us with the same scoring as Big Zach did last year and he is only a sophomore.  Another big banger inside would obviously help him out, but I have really been encourage by his play through the first three games.

[UNT86]

JJ Murray does so many things that help this team win.  He has incredible vision on his passes.  His defense is smothering.  Amazingly, he rebounds well.  He can shoot even if he rarely does.  

He is one of those guys that doesn't show up on the stat sheet, but you are glad he is on your team and not your opponents.

He isn’t really a breakout player, but Drez seems to be stepping it up. I really like his physicality compared to most of last year, and the overall confidence.
