So Justin, how about the draft class of 2009? Obviously, they are far from finished, but they had, in order of win shares through this past season, Steph Curry (yes, he's second so far, but #1 in my book as a Dubs fan), James Harden, DeMar deRozan, Blake Griffin, and Jrue Holiday as a top 5.
It was also a deep draft, with 12 players over 40 WS, and Patty Mills in at #13. Of course, it also had some busts at the top, most notably that Steph was the FOURTH point guard chosen (with only Ricky Rubio of the 3 in front of him who had a good career).
I have that class ranked eighth with a score of 739. The two classes directly above them are 1999 (745) and 1998 (753), so 2009 will probably move up since several of those guys are still playing at a high level.
