You

the only sure thing  at 2.

I like taking Mercer, Thomas Van Horn or Battie with the second pick and
moving Williams for a big 2, or a mid to late first round pick.. Jersey
still has Jackson, Gill & Kittles unless they plan to use one  at he 3
position.  We also need to consider Chauncy Billups, he can give us the big
2 we need and also play the point.  Then go with a Scot Pollard with the
second round pick, he runs the floor good, plays physical and isn't afraid
to rattle your fillings.  He would be able to give Duncan & Dino a
breather.  I am not sure Freeman is the real thing, I like what I have seen
in Billups,Cory Carr, & Dedric Willoughby better.
