Snake style draft 

Post#1 » by Starkiller » Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:53 pm

Got the 9th out of 10th pick. What's a good thing to keep in mind when drafting snake style with such a pick?

That you start with a disadvantage so if you are not one of the best GMs in your league expect average-ish results...

Here's how this team ended up....

Pau Gasol
Deron Williams
Manu Ginobli
Serge Ibaka
Joakim Noah
Joe Johnson
Deandre Jordan
Mike Conley
Aaron Afflalo
Chase Budinger
Paul George
Anderson Varejao
Gerald Henderson

I think I did ok. Could probably use a little more assists and some scoring I think. What do you think?

What if I can swing Manu/Deandre for Harden/Amare or Brook Lopez?
