NBA 2018-19: 5 Players Poised to Have a Breakout Season

#2 Langston Galloway - Detroit Pistons

Galloway struggled after a promising rookie yearGalloway struggled after a promising rookie year

Langston Galloway had the best rookie season he could hope for after going undrafted in 2014. After an impressive run in the D-League, he joined the Knicks on a starting role and earned a selection to the All-Rookie Second Team.

However, since then, he saw his role in the league diminish year after year.

In the next three years, Galloway played for four different teams, starting just 11 out of 214 games. In the past year, he averaged a career-low 14.9 minutes per game in Detroit. Nevertheless, he is in a very good situation coming into this year.

The Pistons' guards this year are either prone to injury, inexperienced, or edging closer to the end of their careers. Galloway is the exception to all of these; any injury he suffered in his career was minor, he has some track record in the league and will turn just 27 in December. He just might be Detroit's only safe bet at the guard position.

Galloway isn’t a very glamorous name, but he could be critical for the Pistons' playoff hopes.
