Fantasy Basketball question

[STATEdude3]

I think my team is in trouble...I didnt want Shaq because I figure he would be hurt, and I didnt want any Pistons because I figured that the team aspect would hurt fantasy points. Any ideas on who I should get rid of or look to pick up? This is my first time playing fantasy Bball, so I dont know how this line up would fare.

PG S. Francis (Orl - PG)
SG V. Carter (NJ - SG,SF)
G J. Richardson (GS - SG)
SF T. Prince (Det - SF)
PF R. Wallace (Det - PF,C)
F M. Daniels (Dal - SG,SF)
C S. O'Neal (Mia - C)
Util J. Crawford (NY - SG)
Util S. Battier (Mem - SF)
BN J. Tinsley (Ind - PG)
BN L. Ridnour (Sea - PG)
BN J. Dixon (Por - PG,SG)
BN M. Jackson (NJ - PF,C)
BN Ke. Thomas (Sac - PF)

A few thoughts from someone whos been playing for a couple years, but I'm no expert...

PG S. Francis (Orl - PG) Great PG, good for 22 pts and 7 assits per game
SG V. Carter (NJ - SG,SF) His numbers might be down a little now that RJ is back
G J. Richardson (GS - SG) His numbers have been steadily going up, but they went significantly down once Baron Davis came to GS. I had him on my team last year, and once Davis came he didnt produce as much.
SF T. Prince (Det - SF) I like that you have Tayshaun and Rasheed on the same team, its a good bet that at least one is gonna get 18-20 points and 8-10 boards per night
PF R. Wallace (Det - PF,C) same as above
F M. Daniels (Dal - SG,SF) he should see more minutes now that Finley is gone, not sure if he will start
C S. O'Neal (Mia - C) He will kill your free throw %, and isnt a sure bet to play much more than 50 games
Util J. Crawford (NY - SG) solid utility
Util S. Battier (Mem - SF) solid utility
BN J. Tinsley (Ind - PG)
BN L. Ridnour (Sea - PG) He could put up big #'s in seattle, shoots well, i might start him over daniels.
BN J. Dixon (Por - PG
BN M. Jackson (NJ - PF,C)


If you are looking for a center that is probly a free agent in your leage, check out Primoz Brezec for charlotte. Look for him to put up 14 and 8 this year.
BN Ke. Thomas (Sac - PF)

I don't know who's available in your league but I would try to upgrade...

You have too many guards on your team (4 point guards seems like a lot), not enough rebounders, shot blockers and I don't see a ton of three point shooters either

PG C. Billups (Det - PG)
SG M. Ginobili (SA - SG)
G B. Gordon (Chi - PG,SG)
F D. Nowitzki (Dal - F)
F C. Anthony (Den - F)
C R. Wallace (Det - F,C)
Util M. Dunleavy (GS - F)
Util M. Finley (SA - SG,F)
BN C. Boozer (Uta - F)
BN A. Bogut (Mil - C)
BN D. Marshall (Cle - F)
BN R. Felton (Cha - PG,SG)
BN M. Williams (Atl - F)

Three rookies is a bit risky at this point in the season.

Donyell Marshall is a solid late round pick, as he will get you decent points in every category, especially 3PTM.
