Prince (trade) is expected to make his season debut with the Pistons on Tuesday, and coach Stan Van Gundy is planning on starting Prince at small forward over Caron Butler if Prince is comfortable during Tuesday's shootaround, the Pistons' official site reports.

Analysis:

Even if Prince starts the game, it's hard to imagine him carving out a big enough role to make him of use in standard fantasy leagues. He's simply not aggressive enough of a player on offense. Through 35 games played this season, Prince has averaged 7.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.6 three-pointers on 45 percent shooting from the field and 49 percent shooting from beyond the arc in 24 minutes per game. He's competent from beyond the arc (career 37 percent), but Prince isn't known as a gunner from deep, a trait that most wing players on the Pistons have.
