In case you aren't up on Cavalier news, we signed our draft pick Christian Eyenga this summer after he put together an impressive Summer League and showed exactly what impact he could have on the team this year. That impact is one of the most crucial aspects any player can have: The ability to throwdown an unbelievable dunk whenever he gets a wide open lane. He literally has some of the most ridiculous ups you will see in the NBA this year. At only 6 foot 6", the awe-factor he has when you watch him dunk is priceless.
Exhibit A: Summer League Throwdown
Okay, that was just nasty. What makes it even more legit is that he did it in the middle of a game. As any real fan of dunking swagger should know, the Windmill is one of the most aesthetically pleasing dunks to watch. Eyenga's windmill might be his signature, and hopefully we should get to see it on countless fast breaks this year. Exhibits B and C: the "Warmup Windmill" followed by the "Insane Pump"
I know right? This guy is playing for the Cavaliers this year.. I'm down. Eyenga is going to be a human highlight reel, and maybe just maybe he'll help us get over the loss of one, "Akron Traitor". This is probably the best video of him dunking you will find. I present you Exhibit D: "Slow-motion through the Legs." Can't wait to see this guy play in the preseason. LeBron who?
Eyenga is an athlete, no doubt about it. He should be a very entertaining player to watch within the next couple of years. He could pose a serious threat to defenses once he improves his jump shot.
