They already have 3 combo guards playing together in Foye, McCants, and Jaric. And they also have Telfair who showed some nice flashes last year. That is plenty of guards when you are on pace to start Michael Doleac at center.
McCants isn't a combo guard, he is a SG period. He is really only good for one thing and that is for scoring in bunches off the bench. If they have him in the longterm plans still its as a sixth man.
Marko Jaric is a combo guard, he is also somebody they are desperate to trade if at all possible. Not the kind of player that would stop a GM from drafting an allstar level SG by any means.
Randy Foye for better or worse is the teams PG of the now and the future assuming he stays healthy. Because he isn't the best set up PG in the league it does in fact make OJ Mayo more attractive because he can also handle the ball enough to take pressure off Foye.
Telfair is a back up PG and not a great one he shouldn't have anything to do with how they feel about the draft.
I've got no problem with a team taking Brook Lopez because I think he'll be a solid starting center but you don't go with solid big over great wing that is nuts.
Great big vs great wing is a judgement call where you normally have to go big but you don't pass on a Chris Paul/Deron Williams to draft a Andrew Bogut and this is the same thing.
