Looks like Chad Ford changes his draft boards after the fact to make himself look better. Take the 2013 draft board for instance.
Here's a cache of the page a month after the draft:https://web.archive.org/web/2013072...pn.go.com/nbadraft/results/top100/_/year/2013
And here it is now: http://insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/results/top100/_/year/2013/
Notice how he's raised players that have done well (Antetokounmpo, Carter-Williams, Hardaway Jr., Dieng, Gobert) and dropped those who haven't done so well (Karasev, Larkin, Jamaal Franklin).
Kinda shady I think.
EDIT: He's done it before:
2012 Draft Board day after draft:https://web.archive.org/web/20120629181640/http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft/results/top100?year=2012&action=login&appRedirect=http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft/results/top100?year=2012
