If Gordon's gone, Mclemore would be awesome, but I doubt we get that pick anyway.

I wouldn't look at it like this. The way Gordon's been playing, you could play Gordon in the First quarter and McLemore in the next 3 quarters and have a pretty complete SG position. Also, getting McLemore gives you flexibility in trading Gordon. You don't have to look to get an SG back, maybe you're happy getting something like Luol Deng and a pick.

Noel is the only guy I'd be concerned about taking because of redundancy. You just have to wonder how well he'd develop with limited playing time. Look at Derrick Williams, he seems like a waste of a #2 pick even though it was a relatively weak draft.
