Daniel Orton tweeted this evening trying to clear up all the talk in the media on his leaving the University of Kentucky and declaring for the NBA Draft. He also is trying to defend some of the quotes his Dad had in the [URL=”http://vaughtsviews.com/?p=4121″]interview with Larry Vaught[/URL] a couple of days ago.

things I want to address: 1. I’ve never been a me first person. I came to UK bc I loved the fans. I care what they think of me.

I wish nothing but the best for each player on the UK Team. Daniel Orton will be a good pro, and I am happy for him and all the best wishes on whatever decision he makes.

[*]I have been thinking that Orton could be a great “get” for an NBA team and could actually be getting a bargain. If Orton stayed a couple more years his stock could blow up and then Daniel Orton is a hot commidity and the price goes way up. A NBA team can also train him to play the way they want him to play, plus not having to break the bank to pay his salary. Always remember the NBA is a business and dollars and cents always play into the equation.
