Final 2009-2010 UNLV Projection:

Last year was disappointing, but this year could be much better if Jasper and Stanback live up to their potential. There is plenty of firepower on the perimeter and Jasper, Bellfield and Willis can all handle the ball and, once again, the Rebels should have one of the best assist-to-turnover ratios in the nation. That will keep them in most games and allow them to pull off some upsets. Just like last season, it will come down to whether or not they have the mental toughness to win games on the road.

Projected Post-season Tournament: CBI/CIT

2009-2010 UNLV Basketball Projected Starting Five:

• Derrick Jasper, Junior, Guard, DNP last season
• Oscar Bellfield, Sophomore, Guard, 6.2 points per game
• Tre’Von Willis, Junior, Guard, 11.4 points per game
• Chace Stanback, Sophomore, Guard, DNP last season
• Darris Santee, Senior, Forward, 5.3 points per game
