Daniel Orton, Kentucky's freshman center, will test the NBA Draft waters, but will not sign with an agent, leaving open the possibility that he could return for his sophomore season.

Larry Orton, the player?s father, confirmed the move Wednesday night.

Orton, a 6-foot-10, 255-pound center, did not start a game this season for the Wildcats. He averaged 3.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in 13.2 minutes, primarily as the backup to starter DeMarcus Cousins.

But Orton?s size and skill might make him attractive to NBA teams.

?We had some teams say there was interest,? Larry Orton said. ?They?re saying he could go anywhere from 1-20.?

West Virginia coach Bob Huggins told ESPN's Rachel Nichols that it is "very doubtful" that point guard Darryl "Truck" Bryant will play Saturday against Duke.

Bryant told reporters before the team's win over Kentucky in the Elite Eight that, despite breaking a bone in his right foot just a week before, he'd been medically cleared to play in the Final Four.

Huggins didn't completely rule out Bryant's return, but said that, "if he can't practice, he's not going to play."

"We're not going to throw him out there without knowing what he's going to do," Huggins said. "I think it's a whole lot different walking, or jogging on a treadmill, than it is coming out here and cutting and doing the kind of things we have to do out here."

I'm surprised and glad we both made it," said the 6-foot-4 Wall, who averaged 16.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists after arriving as one of the most highly touted high school recruits. "We had to learn a lot as freshmen and we were able to help our teammates along the way. This means a lot to both of us."

James Anderson of Oklahoma State was sixth in the balloting with 27 votes and was joined on the second team by Sherron Collins of Kansas, Greivis Vasquez of Maryland, Jon Scheyer of Duke and Da'Sean Butler of West Virginia.

Cole Aldrich is expected to announce he's leaving Kansas for the NBA draft at a news conference on Monday afternoon, a source close to Aldrich and Kansas told ESPN.com.
