March Madness: 10 breakout player candidates in 2019 NCAA Tournament
10. Nassir Little, Forward, North Carolina
The highest-rated recruit from the Class of 2018 in the country that didn’t go to Duke, Nassir Little hasn’t made a Zion-esqe impact for the Tar Heels.
However, at ten points per game, Little has made more than a little impact in a role off the bench for the Heels.
Even though North Carolina is very deep, Luke Made and Cam Johnson will need help at the forward position if the Tar Heels want to live up to their one seed potential.
Little, off the bench, will need to tap into that all-world recruit potential that he has flashed all season.
While he has struggled at times, Little has the big-game potential that is absolutely vital in a sleeper player. Little has been big in making exciting and explosive players in big situations for North Carolina all season, and those plays become even more important in March.
If he can continue to produce, make big plays, and perhaps play to the billing of his recruiting ranking, the North Carolina Tar Heels will be very, very well positioned to make a big run in March.
dark. Next.
March Madness is where stars are born, and this year expects to be the birthing of several other stars all throughout the field. While these ten players are the best bets to rise to stardom this tournament season, anything can happen, and any sleeper player can be the next big superstar that carries his team to greatness.
