2011 NBA Draft Point Guard or Big Man?

I'm sure we all know two of our glaring needs. We have the 17th pick in the first round which could be a decent place to address one of those needs of PG or PF/C. Where do you guys think we should go with this pick? Could we be happy with TD or AC running back up point or can we address either of these needs in free agency? Well I've narrowed down some draft prospects I think could help.

At PG, some prospects that could fall in our range include Jimmer Fredette, Nolan Smith, Reggie Jackson, Josh Selby, or Shelvin Mack.

At PF/C, some prospects that could fall in our range include Kenneth Faried, Bismack Biyombo, JaJuan Johnson, Tristan Thompson, or Trey Thomkins. I think Biyombo would help a lot on interior D but he could be drafted early since I seen him on some draft boards in the top 10 because theres some questions about his real age. Faried could help as well. He is a great rebounder he averaged 14 rebounds a game this year and rebounding often translates well into the NBA (ex. Paul Millsap, David Lee) but he is undersized at 6'8 225 lbs. Another intriguing guy is JaJuan Johnson. He's 6'10 and has great leaping ability. He can finish strong, block shots, and has a pretty solid mid range game even extending out near the college three. The knock on him is that he's a little too skinny at 220 lbs.

So who I would pick? I'd go with Faried or Johnson. What do you guys think?!
