Two others teased Kentucky’s fans for a week when freshmen [URL=”http://insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2010&playerId=19462″][COLOR=#225fb2]Eric Bledsoe[/COLOR][/URL] and [URL=”http://insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/draft/tracker/player?draftyear=2010&playerId=19401″][COLOR=#225fb2]Daniel Orton[/COLOR][/URL] “tested” the draft.
But they’re both in now.
Calipari said Friday night that Bledsoe and Orton will join their three teammates and stay in the NBA draft.
“Eric did great in Chicago and Boston [in workouts this week] and will now work out for lottery teams,” Calipari said of Bledsoe. “Orton hasn’t worked out for anybody yet but [teams] are loving him.”
