hmm.. thats an interesting set of categories. I'm too lazy to lookup each players stats so I'm gonna go with my gut feeling.
You look pretty good in 3PT. The team with Peja will still beat you but you should be okay against most.
Asts are very good
Asts/TO is tricky. You top guys wont decide it. Its the Eddie Curry's and Kwame Brown's who will kill it for you with their TOs. But that should be common to most teams so you should be about average here.
Blocks are good especially if Foyle lives up to expectation
DD - Having Duncan will help a lot and you big guys will get you a couple every week so you should win this more often than not
DRB - I don't have the defensive/offensive rebound breakups so I'm gonna say you are good in both for now.
FGP - FGP should be your strong point.
FTP - FTP could suffer if Duncan repeats last year. Don't expect much from this category.
ORB - good
PTS - Not very good. Duncan's ppg have been going down for the last 3 years and you don't have any other 20ppg scorer. You might lose here more often than you expect
STLS - Another strong point for you. Depending on how soon Christie returns this category is a lock for you.
Overall I'd say you teams looks pretty good for a H2H league. Should end up among the top teams.

Wow! Those are some freaky-deaky cats you got there. I did look up some of your players, and I think that you have a strong chance to compete, but it's hard measuring that when I'm not exactly sure what the rest of the NBA universe has in terms of those stats (i.e. someone who is usually a 8th-th round pick becomes a 3rd or 4th rounder in this set up, and I can't think of why this would change things.)
However, you should beat up on the defensive categories. I can proffer a starting lineup, which you may choose to go with/not go with.
C: Magloire
C: Foyle
F: Artest
F: Duncan
F: Brown
G: Cassell
G: Nash
G: Terry
The first people off your bench should be Daniels and Christie unless Eddy Curry forgets what a whiny vagina he is.
I think it's a lot easier to rate your team with that starting lineup in mind, and I think your team looks very good. You are going to get trounced in FT% pretty much every week, as long as Duncan statys where he is. However, like Pray said, you should definitely beat up some people in FG%, as well as assists, steals and all the sweet sweet board categories. Double-Doubles? Did someone feel the need to make KG even more valuable in fantasy? He definitely wasn't getting enough credit before.
Anyway, I like your team, as there are 11 categories, of which you can easily own 6 a week, and 4 of the other 5 you will compete in. Points will be difficult as well as FT%, but I think you are slightly better off realizing that there are only 8 starting positions and all of your guys save Foyle could get you 15-18 a game. If two or three of them have a good week, you could challenge...otherwise, let it go.

If you're smart, you'll start Kurt Thomas, especially in a league with double doubles as a category. The Knicks are starting him at center this year with Sweetney at power forward. He's probably a top 65 player. Foyle is being hugely overrated. I don't know why everyone thinks that they'll be able to just plug Foyle in and get the same numbers that Dampier gave them last year. It doesn't work that way. First of all, Foyle is very injury prone, so he's likely to spend a lot of time off the court. In seven seasons, he's never averaged more than 22 minutes per game. Last April he averaged 7.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 26.5 minutes, so even if the Warriors give him 30 minutes per game -- which is extremely unlikely -- there's no way he will put up near the numbers across the board that Thomas has produced consistently. Thomas also shot .835 from the free throw line last year, so he'll help counterbalance Duncan a bit. Foyle will only make matters worse at barely over 50 percent. And Thomas will give you a lot more assists and steals. That said, looks like a nice team. Good job.

"Lamar Odom (expletive deleted) sucks. Excuse my language, but he does. I watch the Lakers all the time. He does not fit on the team and he WILL not fit. He's simply horrendous. He cannot do anything...(skipping over 3 paragraphs dealing with why Odom sucks)...Thinking he's going to match his career or last year when his role is simply not the same at all is your mistake." -- Vyse berating me for drafting Lamar Odom in the 5th round.
"If Odom can succeed right out of the box running the point forward in coaches Phil Jackson and Tex Winter’s complex Triangle offense, Odom can safely be pegged to have a career year." -- Vyse, one week later, after TMR added Odom to his "Guys I Love" list.
