Krauser & Pittsnogle Impress in Workouts <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CHICAGO -- It only took Pitt junior Carl Krauser a few minutes of the first practice session yesterday to show the NBA general managers and scouts, who packed the Solheim Center at Moody Bible Institute, those intangibles that have made him a successful player. "The thing I love about Carl is he is a leader," said New York Knicks assistant coach Michael Malone, who is serving as the head coach for Krauser's team this week. "There aren't many leaders out there. A lot of guys can play the point, but Carl was the floor leader from the time he stepped on the floor. "This was the first time out there with guys he never played with before and he is already running the team, he is already telling guys where they need to be. And most of all, he has a great enthusiasm for the game and it rubbed off on the rest of the team -- everybody was feeding off of Carl." Krauser said he wasn't sure what to expect from the camp but he wasn't going to be intimidated and felt relaxed once the drills began. "I just wanted to be myself," he said. "That's how I play: All out. I go hard and I don't stop until the whistle blows. I have a lot to learn but I know that this is just a start."</div> Source
