Hi all
im in a 9 Cat & 12 man league, #3rd pick in a snake draft
Would love to know how to pair with the below players
KD - (______) + (______) + (______)
Curry - (______) + (______) + (______)
Giannis - (______) + (______) + (______)
AD - (______) + (______) + (______)
and why...
Cheers!
I would do a lot of mock drafts to see where players routinely land and adjust accordingly. Good luck with your season.
Since KD and Giannis are well-rounded forwards, I tend to prefer getting the best available G or C when it comes to the turn of the second to third. Generally, one of each would be good, but that's not necessary.
For Curry, a big man is must-pick within the next three picks. Preferably a good free-throw shooter to delay punting choice. The opposite would be for AD. Get a guard, most likely two top-tier ones. Then get your secondary big in the middle rounds after that.
If you can pull KD+Lowry/Conley+Klay+Milsap, you're all set on 3s, stl, kinda on blocks and very heavy contender for both %%, because you will not have to go after 3-point specialists later on drafts, bringing you %FG down.
But generally I think planning 4 rounds ahead is a bit shaky. Try to have a list of pairing of only the first two rounds to set the tone for the rest of the draft.
I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't worry a ton about your 2nd round pairing. Take the best player left on the board. There's almost always a nice value left on the table in rounds 4/5/6 that can fill a positional need.
