Final 2009-2010 Auburn Projection:

Reed will do fine as a point guard, but his scoring may suffer because of it. That means Waller, Sullivan and Hargrove better be ready to score from the perimeter and do more than just shoot three-pointers if Reed is not available to carry this team in the scoring column. While a trip to the NIT was a little disappointing last year, it is the realistic goal for the team during the 2009-2010 campaign.

Projected Post-season Tournament: NIT

2009-2010 Auburn Basketball Projected Starting Five:

• DeWayne Reed, Senior, Guard, 13.2 points per game
• Tay Waller, Senior, Guard, 12.1 points per game
• Lucas Hargrove, Senior, Forward, 8.1 points per game
• Kenny Gabriel, Sophomore, Forward, DNP last season
• Johnnie Lett, Senior, Forward, 2.8 points per game
