As BBallFanCT729 mentioned, it is kinda quiet around here at the moment, so to hopefully spark some discussion I thought I'd try to get your opinions of the 2005 draft class.

I'm getting the impression that this one is shaping up to be a fairly mediocre one, so where exactly does it fit in with past years in your opinions?

1999*:
Chamique Holdsclaw, Yolanda Griffith, Natalie Williams, DeLisha Milton, Jennifer Azzi, Crystal Robinson, Tonya Edwards, Tari Phillips, Dawn Staley, Edna Campbell, Chasity Melvin, Natalia Zasulskaya.

It's in line with 1998 or 2003. It doesn't have the front line talent of 2002 but probably runs a little deeper. It's certainly not as good as 2001 or 2004 nor as bad as 2000.

1999 = best
2000 = worst

Yeah, but 1999 had an unfair advantage.
2000 certainly was a shocker though. Not much consolation for having a bad season in that draft Sad
