Hypothetical: Which is more valuable?

[Packfill]

Assuming the Hawks do not get a top 3 pick, if you had to choose between the two which would you rather have: Josh Childress or the pick (whether it be 4, 5 or 6)?

I think Childress is a good player who would do well as a starter, probably not a star, but a good player who does things that help his team win games. I am not so confident in the abilities of this years draft class, so personally I value Childress higher then a non-top 3 pick. My only reservation is the obvious - i.e., the glut of small forwards currently on the roster.

What do you guys think?

Childress is slow and struggles on D. I think Roy will be a better scorer and a better defender than Childress.

Certaintly possible, but no guarantee.
