With just a bit more than a month to go, it’s getting to the point where it’s hard to give too much advice on what you should do with your team. We’ll of course be telling you free agents to look for to help put you over the top, but I also think it’s important to use the last month of the season to reflect on lessons to be learned for future seasons. So let’s take a look at Marbury. Coming into the season, I was very high on Steph. I thought he would be the comeback star of the year and backed up my talk by taking him in the 4th round of my draft with the 45th overall pick. Needless to say, I was not too happy with this decision a month into the season. He was confused as to what his role with the team was, wasn’t his usual aggressive self and it all bottomed out on Nov. 25 when he didn’t even attempt a single shot in 19 minutes in a 106-95 loss at Chicago. He was being cut in many leagues but it just wasn’t something I could advise and we’ll make that the first lesson.

I think my team really needs a pf/f that can shoot threes - what do people think about jamison or wallace or even okur? perhaps the answer lies in puttin gmobley into my line-up or picking up the 100 3s guy who will be all over the waiver wire... I am not so worried about blocks as Josh smith and Yao and prince will put me middle of the road there... but threes are a definite problem!!!

But just remember that his percentages were 35/60 last year. That's just terrible. He'd probably be better served giving up on those 3s that make him a fantasy tease and just becoming an improved version of Tyson Chandler who boards and blocks like a monster. Don't bet on it, though. As for Shelden, the minutes might be there, which is nice. But Andrew Bogut is a far superior offensive player and we saw the modest offensive numbers he put up last year. Don't get too excited, in other words. Eddie Griffin … it’s possible, sure. But just remember that his percentages were 35/60 last year. That’s just terrible.

And you're right, you can do worse than Randolph. Any thoughts on Eddie Griffn (nice preseason, obviously always a fantasy tease) and Shelden Williams (starting for Marvin Williams)?

I mean, there's not much to report on in the preseason, so these beat writers have to come up with story ideas wherever they can find them. Andre looks a few pounds overweight and there's nothing else to file that day? OK, there's a story. Boykins will be the same 25 mpg player he's always been. There will be games when Miller doesn't have it and they go with Boykins, but Miller should put up the same numbers he always does. I'm really not expecting much from Eddie Jones. It was basically -- let's see if he gets off to a hot start with Gasol out and the team desperate for offense and try to ride him while I can. And I do share that concern about Martin. I'm hoping that youth and minutes will be on his side. I’m not too concerned about Andre being a bit overweight.

Your draft reminded me of a few questions that I had during my own draft last week: - How concerned are you about Andre Miller's production being hurt as a result of him being supposedly fat and out of shape? Also, how much of an impact will Boykins have on his production? - Memphis has a lot of young, talented players (Warrick, Gay) that are currently sitting on the bench. Any concern that Jones might get squeezed out as a result of a youth movement? - Kevin Martin has been getting a lot of hype in the preseason. While I did end up drafting him in my league (12th round in a 13 round draft), I have this nagging feeling that he's a one-trick pony a la ben gordon but minus the 3's. Your thoughts?
