Jordan Hawkins, UConn
After averaging 5.8 points per game on just 35.3% shooting in 14.7 minutes per game last season, Hawkins might be the nation's top breakout star. The 6-5 guard is putting together an elite sophomore season, and his play is one of the top reasons why the Huskies are off to a 14-1 start. He's averaging 14.6 points and shooting 39.8% from 3-point range on 7.5 attempts per game. Big man Adama Sanogo has been the star he was expected to be for UConn. Hawkins was expected to take a significant leap but has evolved into one of the Big East's top stars for a team that looks capable of cutting down nets.
