That same year, Kelser was named both All-America 1st Team and Academic All-America 1st Team, the first in MSU basketball history. He would become the fourth player selected in the 1979 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons and played for six years. He has served as a television announcer and color commentator for the Pistons since 1988 and the Big Ten Conference since 1987.
