It’s no secret every year there are a few players who start to shine, that didn’t see much playing time in the previous year or two, such as Clint Capela last year, and CJ McCollum in 2015-2016. A few things factor into a player breaking out and becoming known around the league. Opportunity, skill, and fit (scheme & positional fit) are the big three factors for how a player will come into his own at the professional level. One player that has an excellent opportunity to be that guy this year is Dejounte Murray.
