It looks like former Kentucky center Daniel Orton will be a Washington Wizard and a possible teammate of John Wall.
Of course, he has to make the team first.
This from CSNWaShington.com:
The Wizards are about to sign Daniel Orton, who played for them at Las Vegas summer league, for training camp, CSNwashington.com confirmed with two people with the knowledge of the situation Tuesday. A training camp contract is expected to be finalized in the next few days.
Orton, 24, was a 2010 first-round pick of the Orlando Magic as 6-10 center/forward but had his career derailed by knee issues. He bounced back and has spent time with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers. He arrived in D.C. on Thursday and worked out at Verizon Center.
Orton worked out for the Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers but canceled a workout with the Los Angeles Clippers after they signed Ekpe Udoh to a roster spot.
How many Kentucky fans are really excited?
C’mon now, don’t be shy.
