Orlando is over. It officially ended Friday. Most of the scouts and NBA people, though, got out before the final day even started. Here are some final thoughts on Krauser. From NBA Draft.net.
Krauser was the most enthusiastic player in camp, rooting on his teammates and showing his great leadership ability. For many teams he actually gives a better bench player than the more talented Darius Washington.
From Hoopsworld.com, Steve Kyler continues his advocacy for Krauser in this note after his mock draft.
Two guys to look for in the 2nd round – Jeremy Kelly from Tennessee Martin, and Carl Krauser from Pitt. Jermey was part of the AJ/Hollins workout, and more than a dozen executives asked about him, and Krauser looked good running the show for his Pre-Draft team and played some good defense – one of the few players to get down in a defensive stance while guarding his man – its those little things that stood about Carl.
It’s encouraging to see a fair amount of positive coverage of Krauser’s game, and practically no mention of age issues. Very different from last year.
