Get real, if we don't land Duncan we might not even get Mercer because
Vancouver or whoever is at 2 might pick him.  No way Dee Brown has any
where near the talent of Mercer.  If he did we would have traded him by
now, but no takers. Mercer is only 20 and his game will only improve.  As
for Vaughn, he is a great floor leader, but reminds me too much of Sherman
Douglas, no outside shooting ability.  Taking Vaughn before 10 would be a
reach.  I would take a Chauncy Billups before vaughn.
