Predicting three NBA sophomore players that will have breakout seasons in 2022-23. 

The first year as an NBA player can be stressful. Rookies (or young adults) forced into a situation are under tons of pressure, and millions are watching.

Sometimes one player is a potential superstar but is in the wrong situation, while others may never receive the time on the court to establish their skill and are left hoping for their minutes played to increase.

The sophomore season for NBA players is crucial. The second year can become a make-or-break season if a player is not highly sought after by the team or an early draft selection.

Players must do all they can in order to get that next contract or receive playing time where they can show what they can become. We explore three players that could be candidates for a breakout season in 2022-23.
