This team might not be filled with the star power, but they have a ton of talent from the starting lineup all the way to the bench. Tamin Lipsey averaged 12.4 points last year while grabbing 4.6 rebounds per game. 

Keshon Gilbert transferred in from UNLV before last season and he made an immediate impact averaging 13.7 points per game.
