Final 2009-2010 New Mexico Projection:

Gary and Martinez are a good duo to work around. McDonald and Garth are emerging talents who could be in for big seasons and getting Hobson from the junior college ranks was huge for this team. The biggest concern is under the basket and somebody needs to emerge as a legitimate scoring threat in the paint or this team will struggle to make the postseason.

Projected Post-season Tournament: CBI/CIT
