The Breakout Sophomore Formula uses advanced stats to identify high-scoring potential in players who didn't light up traditional box scores as freshmen. This season's candidate pool, in the name of avoiding breakout picks that are too obvious, was restricted to players that averaged single-digit points as freshmen and received not much more than 20 minutes of playing time per game.
While they were on the floor, though, these players took a substantial percentage of their team's shots (in most cases, 23% or higher) with a respectable degree of efficiency (preferably an offensive rating of at least 100, or one point per possession), and there's reason to believe they could see increased minutes as sophomores.
