I see all bigs being mentioned but what about SF any worth looking at?

Ya know LBJ isn't going anywhere for a while with Pierce retiring soon isn't that a position we should look to strengthen

The best we're going to get is probably going to be Jeff Green.

Jeff Taylor has fallin to the C's pick in a couple mocks. He wouldn't be too bad.

But I think Green would be just fine as a starting 3. We don't need to replace a 3 with an other Paul Peirce , it could come at a different position.

Ah, missed what forum this was in.

Draft Express has Quincy Miller falling to #20.  If he slides that far, I think we need to try to move up and get him.

I concur.

Yep I think where we are at Jeff Taylor is the backup 3 we will get. I actually like him over Quincy Miller.

Quincy Miller seems to be falling like a rock, a couple "experts" said he could slip out of the 1st (which is hard to believe). But it doesn't sound like they would have to move at all to land Quincy

I didn't really see him play so I do not feel strongly either way

I'd love to take Quincy Miller.  If he turns himself into a solid defender, then I think his natural scoring ability will make him a very good player - possibly at the starter-on-a-good-team level.  Very high ceiling without being a bust candidate in my opinion.  I'm not sure what the scouts see that I don't, because I like him.
