The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) held their fourth expansion draft on November 16, 2005 for the Chicago Sky.[1] This draft allowed the Chicago Sky to select players from the existing WNBA teams to fill their debut rosters prior to the start of the 2006 WNBA season.[2]
On November 1, 2005, the existing WNBA teams submitted a list of six protected players from their 2005 rosters.[3] On November 15, the Sky reviewed these lists and then selected one player from each of the other 13 teams.[3] The results of this draft were then publicized on November 16, 2005.[3]
