ESPN has posted the latest mock draft from writer Chad Ford.

Two interesting notes.

First, Rider's Jason Thompson is predicted to go No. 20 to Denver.
The skinny: The big man from Rider may not be flashy, but he put up big numbers for four years and would give the Nuggets something they need: a consistent scoring presence in the paint.
Thompson could end up moving ahead of a number of bigs with more upside because more teams are valuing production over potential this year.
That would be big for the MAAC if Thompson could go in the first round and give the conference a little bit of nationally publicity.

Second, Shan Foster, Vanderbilt's guard and SEC Player of the Year, who was outplayed significantly in the NCAA First Round game by most of the Siena players, but notably Kenny Hasbrouck, is projected to go in the second round at No. 54 to Houston.
Foster is a lights-out shooter, but the rest of his game is a little one-dimensional.

The draft, which is only two days away, should be very interesting.
