These days, I think SF is about the easiest position to fill. Look at the recent acquisitions. In 2011, Klay Thompson went 11th, Kawhi Leonard went 15th, and Chandler Parsons went 38th. In 2010, Gordon Hayward went 9th, Paul George went 10th. In 2009, Chase Buddinger went 44th and Danny Green went 46th.
Besides, with Wall as our PG and assuming Beal improves, we don't really need a shot creator like Pierce or Gay at SF. All we really need is a 3&D SF in the Kawhi Leonard mold. I'd much rather pay Martell Webster $2M a year to do that than Gay $17M a year to do the same thing with a few more low-percentage one-on-one shots thrown in.
I think a lot depends on Wall. If he becomes a better scorer, in addition to playmaker i can buy that, but we have to see if he's capable of that.
The SFs you listed are good players, but none are the type you can give the ball to and say, "go get a bucket", except for Paul George. If I thought there was a go to SF type in this upcoming draft, I'd change my opinion.
