Why do I have the 23rd pick two days in a row?

Why do I have the 23rd pick two days in a row?

We did a "modified" snake draft this year.  Teams that pick at the top of the first round pick at the bottom of the second and third rounds, and back to the top at the fourth round.

The reasoning is that since the teams with the top picks have historically placed higher in the voting, we'd do something to cancel out that inherent advantage a bit.

Thay what I assumed, I remember voting I think?

I haven't chimed in on this so I want to now:

I understand the idea behind it but feel it screws those falling out of the top 5 to about the 12 or 13th pick... Like me. Only the top 5 should have been penalized, just one mans opinion anyway.

I thought you had the 10th overall pick?

Sure the top 5 get an advantage...but honestly I don't think the penalty is that great. Its kind of like everyone picks 1-15 made 1 bad trade, to varying degrees. In the third round I said to pick #30 guy "Hey, lets switch picks the rest of the draft!"...and he agreed because he moved up in the third.

It is a "punishment", but you picking 10th, only lose 10 spots (I think?)...9 loses 12, 8 loses 14, 7 loses 16, and so on....I think its completely appropriate.

There were some fairly elite guys who dropped as far as #20 this year.  I mean, Amare was 2nd team All-NBA, and despite his reputation, his team went deep into the playoffs.

It's really the final ten that have the roughest disadvantage, and they're the ones this modified snake benefits most.
