According to the latest blog post of Caught in the Web (part of Pacers.com), Larry Bird confirmed to Conrad Brunner that he is looking for the next Chris Paul.
It was reported that Bird is looking at Eric Maynor, Ty Lawson, Jeff Teague, Brandon Jennings, and Jrue Holliday to draft at number 13. To me, all of these prospects look fine and I really wouldn't care which one of these point guards Indy will take because they all look like they can fit with the squad.
"If you like speed, there's a lot of speed, there's guys that can score, there's guys that can get the ball in people's hands at the right time," Bird said. "Ty Lawson's not big but he's got a lot of heart. Take Jonny Flynn (of Syracuse, a likely top-10 choice), there's one of the toughest guys you'll ever see at his size at point guard and makes a lot of things happen.

Will Indy take a point guard in the draft? It possibly looks like it but time will tell.
