Carl Krauser has been making his case in Orlando that he should be on an NBA roster. Steve Kyler of Hoopsworld.com/Basketball News Service is now an unabashed fan.

It’s official — Carl Krauser has a bandwagon — and you are reading the leader of it… The more Carl plays, the more he looks like a NBA guard. He’s not a starter –- he is a backup point — but at a solid 6’1, 4 years of college at a major program, and some smart savvy basketball Carl looks like he’d be a value for a team in the 2nd round. A team looking for a backup guard would be smart to look at Carl. He’s not going to score a ton of points, but when its time to sit your lead playmaker, Carl is showing he can handle the job –- he admitted that maybe he’s deferring too much trying too hard to get the “bigs” on his team involved so they will rebound, but says he is doing what his coaches told him to do and he is proving that he can run a team. The Krauser Bandwagon will debut their T-shirts tomorrow (that’s a joke…).

Not quite effusive the next day, but he still likes him for a playoff team.

Carl Krauser looks like he is a 3rd string guard on any team in the playoffs, he has been unspectacular on the floor shooting, but seems to have heart and hustle and a willingness to play defense. He may go late in the 2nd, but next year there’s gonna be a guy coming of the bench for 5 minutes to spell a starter, and Carl could be that guy for a handful of teams.

Reading like coming back for his senior year worked for Carl. Actually the way Kyler waxes effusive about Krauser is what it will take for a team to take a shot on him late in the 2nd round. A scout or GM that falls in love with his intangibles and work ethic to advocate on his belhalf that the club take the flyer on him.
