College basketball all-sleeper team: Look for these guys to bust out in 2018-19
F Oshae Brissett, Syracuse
Brissett was a bit of a mixed bag as a freshman. A plus athlete at 6-8, he was one of the only players on Syracuse who could create a decent shot. He averaged 14.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Brissett is exactly the kind of player who works in Jim Boeheim’s zone – long and active, with a motor that runs high.
With all of that said, it’s hard to get past the fact that he shot 35 percent from the floor, making him one of the least efficient players in the country.
But college players generally become more efficient over time, and he was often asked to bail Syracuse out of less-than-ideal shot clock situations. Brissett made 33 percent of his 3s on a high number attempts as a freshman, which isn’t great, but is respectable. Get that number up to 36 percent, and the Orange will welcome him to fire.
He’s just so active, and is the kind of guy who gives your team more possessions based on sheer hustle and explosiveness. Brissett was a key reason why Syracuse went further than anyone expected in the tournament. Don’t be shocked if he averages close to a double-double this season. If he can crack 40 percent from the field, Brissett does so many other things that he'll have a huge impact on winning.
