The Top Mid Major Draft Picks

Are we officially calling this week Mid Major Week? Either way, we’re continuing our focus on mid majors by looking at a few of the best basketball players from Mid Major schools. As you are probably aware, the NBA Draft will come soon after the Finals are over, so there are already a lot of news stories on the draft, and predictions about who the best picks are abound. Most people think that Derrick Rose of Memphis and Michael Beasley of Kansas State will be selected first and second. But they are both from big time schools and big time conferences. Here are the best players from the small schools. We used the Top 100 list from ESPN to help us out.
