That seems to be the take of Andy Katz regarding Krauser.

Pittsburgh’s Carl Krauser, who is 24, told ESPN.com that he has family issues that could weigh heavily on whether he stays in the draft or returns for his senior season.

“I’ve got over 90 percent of my degree finished and so I’m just focusing on the basketball aspect of my life, and I have a little son at home, 10 months old, and I’ve got to go out there and take care of my family first,” Krauser said.

Krauser said he’s hoping one team will tell him he has a shot to run a team. He sounds like someone who would take any shot he could get, regardless of the draft spot. Krauser was giddy about being at the NBA draft camp Tuesday, saying he’s “real happy to be here.”

The Panthers’ staff, led by associate head coach Barry Rohrssen, is watching Krauser. Head coach Jamie Dixon is due in later this week. At this juncture, the Panthers aren’t banking on the junior point guard’s returning.

I’ll wish him luck, and hope he makes it.

Still, despite the glowing reviews in the Pittsburgh papers, when ESPN’s Chad Ford commented on the standout players yesterday, Krauser wasn’t on the short list.

The players just went through scrimmages Tuesday evening, but Maryland’s John Gilchrist, Memphis’ Sean Banks, Florida’s David Lee, St. Joseph’s Dwayne Jones, George Washington’s Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Louisville’s Ellis Myles, Poland’s Marcin Gortat, Chicago State’s Deji Akindele, Pepperdine’s Alex Acker and Washington’s Will Conroy caught the eyes of several NBA scouts in attendance.

Just waiting and watching.
