Took a handful of risks drafting this team-how does it look?

10-team roto league, 15-man rosters, 10 categories( Field Goal Percentage (FG%), Free Throw Percentage (FT%), 3-point Shots Made (3PTM), Points Scored (PTS), Offensive Rebounds (OREB), Total Rebounds (REB), Assists (AST), Steals (ST), Blocked Shots (BLK), Turnovers (TO))

Russell Westbrook - PG
Dwyane Wade - PG,SG
Raymond Felton - PG,SG
Carmelo Anthony - SF
Blake Griffin - PF
Joakim Noah - PF,C
Chris Kaman - C
JJ Hickson - PF,C
Luol Deng - SF
Tony Parker - PG
Evan Turner - SG,SF
DJ Augustin - PG
Tiago Splitter - SF,PF,C
Kyle Korver - SG,SF
Andrew Bynum - C/IR

Wade was my #1 pick(I had the #5 pick), he's a stud and the best player on the team as currently assembled.

I'm a little worried about Melo - he'll score a bunch, but I don't know if he's going to fill up the other statistical categories enough. He's a tradeable asset though, and depending on how things go, I may look for a deal.

Griffin, Felton, Augustin, and Hickson have all been labeled as sleepers this year - Griffin because he missed his first year and not everyone pays attention to the preseason, Felton because he may end up putting up some decent numbers in D'Antoni's system in NY, Augustin because he's finally going to be the starter in Charlotte, and Hickson because he's put up good numbers in the preseason and will be the starting PF on a terrible team. They could all do well, or they could all do poorly.

Evan Turner is a risk because he's an unknown, and there have been reports that he's been struggling thus far, but he could still turn out to be productive in his rookie year, and he might be a steal.

Chris Kaman is probably the best center on the team, and I feel fortunate that he was still on the board when he was.

Noah doesn't exactly scream fantasy star, but he's capable of putting up a low double/double on any given night, along with a block or two.

I took Bynum late for big man insurance when he gets back.

I took Korver for 3PM.

I've already waived Splitter so I could sign James Harden off waivers, but I'm #6 in the waiver line, so I don't know if I'll get him. Splitter was my second-to-last pick, and I couldn't decide who to take, and time was running out, and I took him in somewhat of a panic, and in hindsight I should've taken Harden over him then, as he was still on the board.

Deng and Parker won't be spectacular, but they'll put up decent numbers off the bench.

I'm thinking about offering Westbrook for Rose - they're both studs, but I'm a Bulls fan, and Rose will probably score more.

Right now, I feel like my biggest weakness is my big mens' FT%. They're all pretty bad.

Thoughts?

P.S. - Now, the guy who drafted LeBron posted a message in the league saying that he was listening to trade offers for LeBron and to send him a proposal if you're interested. So, I offered him Melo for LeBron. I don't expect him to agree to this, but I thought it was worth a shot.

Yeah, he counter-offered LeBron for Melo+Westbrook, which I rejected.
