Now you've made it tougher. I'll respond later this evening. It will be fun to see who gets it right on this message board. This could be a fun thread.

Oh wow...I only said Top 5! You're serious...lol...did the whole 1st round. Hmmm...I'm going to have to think for a bit on my picks 2-5 and post later.
The tough thing for me is that for some reason, this year I'm not as familiar with many of the prospects like I was last year.

Link below of players invited to draft camp. I can't believe I left Jene Morris off my list. She went to San Diego State and had monster games. She'll go in the first round. E. Prince will go in the top 10. I didn't realize how many teams are looking at her. Maybe she's a top 5... www.wnba.com/draft2010/draft_invitees_100401.html

Sorry Jaye I'll have to disagree here. Because Connecticut is picking first they will take Charles because she will get to play with Montgomery again plus she might help draw in a fan base because of her Connecticut ties. Tina Charles is better than Appel so I don't see why they would take her first anyways if they are looking for a big
