In 2010, there will only be about 132 players in the WNBA. Of these 132, there are a select few who are preparing themselves for a breakthrough season in the W. Some of these players have already established themselves in the league, but will elevate their game to an even higher level. Others will emerge from a lesser known bench player into a consistent and valuable contributor. To be classified as a breakout player, you simply need to make a noticeable improvement in your overall game; whether it’s points, minutes, rebounds, or any other stat, a breakout star sets themselves apart and/or differentiates themselves from the rest of the league.
Here are my top 5.
5. Crystal Langhorne
It wouldn’t be wrong to classify 2009 as Crystal Langhorne’s breakout year as a member of the Washington Mystics. After all, she won the 2009 Most Improved Player Award![]()
