John Calipari told ESPN that Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton will remain in the NBA Draft. The deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft is at 5PM today.ESPN
If Bledsoe and Orton get picked up in the first round then I think they made the right decision but I would not be surprised to see Orton go in the early second round. He has a big enough body to make a roster but he should have returned for another season. The difference between being picked 5th or 35th is huge in regards to the payday one would receive. Orton would have been a lottery pick next year. But with a potential lockout looming for the NBA next year it is probably wise to take the jump now.
