Final 2009-2010 Fairfield Projection:

How long will it take for the young backcourt to come around? With so much talent in the frontcourt the group on the perimeter will not be asked to score much. All they need to do is play solid defense and keep the turnovers to a minimum. Hitting a three-pointer here and there would be nice as well. This is a group that might struggle early in the season, but it will not take long for them to develop into a unit that can make some noise in conference play.

Projected Post-season Tournament: none

2009-2010 Fairfield Basketball Projected Starting Five:

• Derek Needham, Freshman, Guard, DNP last season
