It would appear that reality should be hitting Carl Krauser.

Pitt point guard Carl Krauser, while displaying a crisper peformance than he did a day earlier, managed only three points on 1-of-3 shooting and added three rebounds, three assists and two turnovers in his team’s 97-81 loss. He was guarded mainly by former Marquette guard Travis Diener and ex-Illinois guard Luther Head.

That’s not even going to get him taken on a flyer at the end of the second round.

I actually feel bad about this. It is what he wants, and I think he can make it to the NBA at some point.

He isn’t ready, though. He has to be more consistent, and control things more. This is also a very deep draft for point guards. He is way down on the list. Next year, he should be considered one of the top 10 point guards.

Obviously if he comes back it really helps Pitt. Pitt will be better with him next season than without. Losing 2 starters is tough enough. Losing all 3 of the most productive and experienced players would put Pitt in the bottom half of the Big East for sure.
