Chad Ford edits his mock drafts after the draft

So this has caused a bit of a stir. On /r/nba there was a thread where a redditor looked at cached versions of Ford's mock drafts from the past few years and compared them to the live versions.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2tk9xa/chad_ford_changes_his_draft_boards_years_after/

A lot of changes were made, better players were moved up and busts moved down, e.g. DeAndre Jordan was moved up 10 spots!

Now apparently Ford denies any involvement after ESPN's statement

http://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2toe7k/here_is_espns_statement_on_chad_ford/

but who else would change it and why? since he is one of the most well known people for mock drafts it would certainly give the impression that his predictions were more accurate.

Personally I think mock drafts are pointless but I do think it's pretty funny that someone would do it, considering on the internet nothing is gone forever.

Despite everything, the success of certain players is pretty much as unpredictable as it's always been. There's still whole drafts that are pretty crap and plenty of busts, really solid to good players taken in the second round and decent international players that come over years later and contribute.
