More thoughts on what Krauser will do (Insider Subs.).
Pitt junior point guard Carl Krauser, who would be a fifth-year senior if he were to return, is going to take his decision down to the final hours on Tuesday. Pitt coach Jamie Dixon told ESPN.com that Krauser has a workout slated with New York before the deadline. The Knicks have picks Nos. 8, 30 and 54. Krauser wouldn’t be expected to go in the first round, but could be a selection at 54.
Krauser said in Chicago last week that he wouldn’t be against the second round. Since Krauser is 24 and has a family to support, it wouldn’t be a shock to see him stay in the draft even though there is no guarantee that he’ll be picked.
Can you think of a better person to help you learn to be an NBA point guard than Stephon Marbury? I know the Knicks are Krauser’s hometown team and he idolizes Isiah Thomas, but geez.
