Bledsoe has a "Suspectable" outside shot at best SEE WEST VIRGINIA and plays out of control too much Assist to Turnover Ratio is not very good at all to play the point now and Orton averaged 3pts and 3 rebounds a game. It would be a shame for them to put their name in the drafts, hire an agent and then not get drafted in the first round and end up playing overseas or the Developmental League. Come back a year, get another year under Cal, Bledsoe works on his outside shot and ball handling while Orton gets Playing time and see what happens next year. I have no problem in them making millions and supporting their families if it was a SURE THING but Wall, Cousins and Patterson are the only SURE first round draft picks. Depending on Team Needs and who comes out early Bledsoe and Orton could be 2nd rounders.
I agree with you 100% on that... I feel that they should come back. Bledsoe is a turnover waiting to happen; but for some reason, most people feel he and Orton will go mid 1st round. I don't see it.
They must feel that they are guaranteed 1st round or I'm sure they wouldn't do it.
