I was wondering this question and figured I'd post it as it'll be fun to reevaluate this at the end of the season and see who deserves bragging rights.

So, what NBA player(s) are underrated and are set for a breakout season?
 
Off the top of my head Kris Dunn, Buddy Heild and Jamaal Murray are players I think could break out

I really like Hield. I feel he's underachieved yet his numbers are pretty good percentage-wise. I like Sacramento's roster. They're going to be a fun team to watch and it'll be interesting to see how well they play in three years.
 
Derrick White
Royce ONeale
Pascal Siakam

Deep cuts
 
Hield has such a fluid release I could see him going for 23-24 ppg .. plus the rest of his team is pure trash
 
It's kinda weird to think about, but I think Fultz and Ball can be on this list. They were, for many, highly overrated and underachieved. Fultz looks pretty smooth so far and has some swag and Ball gets to play with James. I actually like Ball's game for the most part. If he can learn to shoot and not be so passive, he could be really good.
 
Miles Bridges might be the 2nd best player on the Hornets.
Jeremy Lamb has improved.
Brandon Ingram is becoming more featured on the Lakers.
Hopefully Dante Exum stays healthy and plays well.
Julius Randle might take another step.
Davis Bertans looks better this year, but I don't know about his minutes.
Keep an eye on Willie Hernangomez in Denver.
 
Some good names above I agree with. I'm going to go with John Collins, Jordan Bell, and my super darkhorse is Ivika Zubac.

Ya i put jarron collins and raja bell on my list too
