Final 2009-2010 Jackson State Projection:

The Tigers have their point guard in Melvin and their big time versatile scorer in Maxey. Even Blake should be a decent replacement for Caldwell. Blake will not score as much, but he will eat up space in the paint and free up Maxey to score about 20 points per game. The key to this team will be how much production they can get on the wings. Johnson and Hanson are capable slashers who will get to the basket and once this team finds a consistent three-point shooting threat off the bench, nobody in the SWAC will be able to stop them.
