B/R AM: March's Future Breakout Star

March turns little-known college basketball players into stars.

This year, look out for Indiana State's Robbie Avila ↓

Why he's a perfect March Madness star:

• Elite nicknames: Cream Abdul-Jabbar, Steph Blurry, Larry Nerd

• He's on a mid-major team with a chance to make a run

• His game is unconventional but legit

Avila averages 17.6/6.9/3.9 for a team projected to make the NCAA tournament, which broke the AP Top 25 earlier this year for the first time since Larry Bird was there.
