Dorrell Wright was picked at #20. I didn't pass on him.

I would have, though, just like I passed on JR Smith (although I like him more than I like Wright). I'd taken Luke Jackson at #13, and I didn't think it was a good idea to take two shooting guards.

Yep. That's the reason I (twice) specifically discussed why I didn't pick him.

Do you think it would be wise to pick two shooting guards in the same draft with two first round picks? I don't, unless the players were clearly the two best options.

In this case, the gap between Telfair and Smith isn't high enough IMO to justify spending the second first rounder on another 2 guard with Jackson already on board.
