April 1, 201016 yr Larry Orton tells Vaught: "If he had played more, he would have made DeMarcus look bad." That's an interesting statement... If his father is telling him things like this, it's hard to comprehend what other's are feeding him. I wish him the best of luck but I hate to see a player leave just to cash a check at the end of the pine.
April 1, 201016 yr Has Cal ever had this many players leave? I know he recruits a lot of "one and done" players, but has he ever had this many guys leave for the NBA?
April 1, 201016 yr Author "He (Larry Orton) said his son attended classes Wednesday but will leave for California Sunday."
April 1, 201016 yr Wait until the get him to a few pre-draft camps. I'd say he will get a true gauge of where where he stands after that. I can't imagine a team would take him in the top 15 right now, I just can't.

April 1, 201016 yr Orton will get drafted atleast in the Top 20. There are guys riding the pine in the NBA right now at 6'11 who make over $1Million a year. Why wouldnt you go? If someone was going to pay me that jack to sit the bench you can bet I would ask where to sign.

If someone was going to pay me that jack to sit the bench you can bet I would ask where to sign. Because it's kind of pathetic to go to the NBA to only sit the bench. My goodness how about trying to be the best player you can be? If he's thinking he just wants to get paid he won't have a long NBA career.

April 1, 201016 yr Has Cal ever had this many players leave? I know he recruits a lot of "one and done" players, but has he ever had this many guys leave for the NBA? I would doubt it. But in Cal's defense, at the beginning of the season I don't think that he would have thought he was going to lose Bledsoe, Orton, and Dodson.
April 1, 201016 yr He has already packed up and dropped all of his classes... “Daniel is going into the draft,” his father, Larry Orton, said Wednesday. “He’s going into training. He’s going to drop his classes just in case he needs to come back (to UK), but the plan is for him to be in the draft.” How does dropping your classes help you come back? Dan is gone, his comment about the opportunity of being the big man around the basket and him being mute on it, is very telling.
April 1, 201016 yr The mock drafts that I have seen this week have dropped him down to the end of the first round, which is where I would expect him to go if he stays in.
April 1, 201016 yr You can only test the waters once... Yeah, I would have thought he would have tested the waters after next season.
April 1, 201016 yr Yeah, I would have thought he would have tested the waters after next season. His dad apparently thinks he is ready now. I'm with you, after next season would seem to be the wiser move.
