Yi hasn't even been good...
if anything the sonics should have drafted Thadeus Young. That being said, I think Green will be fine.
I really think they need to play 3/4 instead of 2/3 though. I think Durant can play 4 in a couple of years. He is very long and would be a great shot blocker down low. Obviously he just needs to bulk up to hold his position in the paint.
If they end up drafting Beasley, who Durant really wants to play with, it's going to be atlanta hawks 2.0 with the log jam at the Forward position.
At that point they should look at dealing 2/3 of wilcox, green, and collison imo, but it seems like they would probably just keep Durant at the 2 instead.

lol @ the Durant should play 4 , Green should play 4, yada yada...
People, it's plain and simple:
Durant is NOT A PF!!!
Durant is a swingman that can play 2, 3, and spot minutes at the 4 depending on the matchup. Hell, he can play spot mins at the 5 if he were playing Golden St or Phoenix subs. The point is you don't use height as a determinating factor- you use respective skillset. Magic was 6 9 and pretty thick, should he have been a PF?
With Green- he is a little more versatile. He can literally play every position on the court, but by no means is he a definitive PF either! He is also a swingman whose best position is 3 with spot mins at the 4, again- depending on the matchup.
The bottomline is that Durant and Green need to be on the floor together to continue the chemistry they are just now beginning to develop. Durant and Green can fill the 2/3 positions, as on defense they are both interchangable.
Seattle with Derrick Rose gives them an athletic facilitator, while with Beasley gives them an athletic scoring 4 that immediately becomes option #2. Either way, can't really go wrong...

Durant and Green are both forwards, ideally small forwards. Neither is much of a guard at all. The most important part of Durant's skillset is rebounding, which has reprehensibly misused so far and is a big reason why he has to hit the weight room this offseason in a big way.
Magic was a guy who could, and did, play all five positions.
