Daniel Orton thinks he is ready to be a NBA player. The Big Blue Nation as been questioning his decision he made a couple of weeks ago to leave Lexington to go to California to begin training for the NBA. Well, it seems now there is less and less chance of seeing Orton in a Kentucky uniform again. Tommy Bailey of Irishondeck.com managed to get an interview in with Kentucky Daniel Orton.

IOD: When did you make the choice to enter the draft, and what factors played into that choice?
DO: I really still haven’t entered the draft my coach just said that. But i think i’m going to keep my name in, but there are a lot of different factors that come into play when deciding to stay or leave. My best bet was there aren’t a lot of post players coming out of college and into the NBA draft this year and its just a great opportunity for me to go.
IOD: Is there a certain team you’d like to get picked by?
DO: Of course i’d love to come back home, but as long as i get drafted it doesn’t matter to me.

Sounds like Daniel has all but made his mind up to keep his name in the draft. I wish him the best of luck in the NBA if he truly does decide to stay in the draft.
