I wouldn't mind if Sandora slipped to #3.
A Sandora Irvin-Kamila Vodichkova post combination is an attractive one.

| Despite Lieberman's babbling today, I wasn't "blown away" by Irvin today, she's had a good senior year, but doesn't seem like a "franchise" player to me. |

Sandora has just had a good/great career. She isn't a franchise player, but she's an impact player. None of the seniors this year strike me as "franchise" players.

| That's a problem with a lot of commentators today - they think hyperbole = good commentary. |

This draft has a serious lack of star-power. There are several good to very good players but no great ones. I would say Irvin is closer to franchiseness than anyone else in this draft.

Definitely. This draft seems to be producing more solid role players than big-time players. I think that Sandora Irvin, Kendra Wecker, and Monique Currie (if she enters the draft) will have big impacts on their teams. The others seem like they'll be solid, but not spectacular.
The good news for the WNBA draft is that the next three years are full of talent, especially 07 & 08.

| It'll be OK. It's not like the 2000 draft, where there was almost nothing. If I were going to compare it to a past draft it would probably be like the 1998, except without the obvious 7'2 #1 pick.

Irvin looked just good, not spectacular, to me as well. But then -- this is the first time I've seen her all year, and I gather this wasn't one of her better games.
She is a pretty amazing physical specimen. She's a little slower, lankier than I was expecting. But still a force, and the shooting range is impressive. I think she has a lot of upside, and I think she'll be an impact player.

She's one of those who seems to very quietly put up serious numbers. You don't think she has so many points and rebounds until you see the box score.
I think the assessments are right, a very good, very solid contributor that will make a team better, but not an ad campaign in waiting.
