I agree - I would still take Chauncey over either Knight or Jackson. Both 
can push it up the floor but are vertically challenged. (And please, 
Jamey, refrain from bringing out the old "size=talent" harangue. Small, 
fast PGs are a dime a dozen in the NBA -- case in point, we got Edney for 
next to nothing. They are far too easy to defend and usually get 
clobbered in post-up situations. Anybody see Spud Webb, Michael Adams or 
even Muggsy Bogues, who have been among the most successful of the breed, 
headed for Springfield? There are exceptions to the rule, but not many.) 
6'4 PGs who have Billup's POTENTIAL (and here is the key word) are much 
more rare.
