The STATS Podcast guys are back with another great episode. This time, they are predicting breakout candidates and listing NC State’s Paul McNeil as the #6 most likely breakout star.
Here are the ‘stats’ they are looking at when finding these candidates:
Freshman or sophomores with 20 minutes or less per game, with over 100 offensive rating and over 20% usage.
Jim Root explains that McNeil really came on late and started becoming a major piece down the stretch for NC State, probably because he finally got an opportunity, which has been dissected by other writers here at PackInsider.
