2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Daniel Orton
Position: Center
Size: 6-10, 255
School: Kentucky, Freshman
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Despite coming off the bench all season long, Orton has declared for the 2010 NBA Draft. He has shown the ability to be a solid defender but has a long way to go before he is a factor at the next level on the offensive end. Still, his big body and potential should be enough for him to be a first-round pick although it is highly unlikely that he will make an immediate impact for whichever team takes him.
Player Comparison: a poor-man’s Marcus Camby. Camby has been one of the best rebounders and shot blockers in the NBA for the past decade-plus. Orton will not be that much of an impact player but should make a living in the league by crashing boards and blocking shots and not because of his offensive game, just like Camby.
