March 23, 201016 yr This was in a chat Ford did today on espn.com: seth (lexington) What do the NBA GM's think of kentuckys daniel orton? Chad Ford (1:42 PM) They love him. I actually think it's possible (not likely, but possible) that Kentucky has 5 players in the lottery. Orton is the rawest of the bunch, but he's big, physical, plays defense and isn't afraid to mix it up under the basket. I just had a GM in the lottery tell me they liked him more than Cole Aldrich. I have him at No. 27 on our Big Board, but I'm getting the feeling that I've got him about 10 to 15 spots too low.
March 23, 201016 yr Uh oh Where was Marvin Williams drafted at the year he came out? I feel like he didn't start for UNC that year.
March 23, 201016 yr I'd absolutely draft Daniel Orton before I'd draft Cole Aldrich. Aldrich is a senior...where would you project Orton's game to be at if he stayed at UK for four years? Cole Aldrich = Eric Montross

Cole Aldrich = Eric Montross Aldrich is actually a junior, even though it does seem like the toothless wonder has been there forever.

March 23, 201016 yr He did start for UNC that year. I don't think he did. I believe he was their sixth man.
March 23, 201016 yr He did start for UNC that year. He was the 6th man for UNC and I believe he was drafted 2nd overall. Not positive on the draft spot, but I'm sure it was top 5.
March 23, 201016 yr You don't have to be an NBA scout to like Orton more than Aldrich. I really hope he decides to come back, it will benefit everyone involved (except the bank).
March 23, 201016 yr Aldrich is actually a junior, even though it does seem like the toothless wonder has been there forever. Ooops...still doesn't change my opinion. Aldrich is still the 2010 version of Eric Montross.
March 23, 201016 yr Maurice Speights for drafted in the first round didn't he.... Pretty sure he went 14th to the sixers, if not, it was somewhere from 14-18
