Cleveland Cavaliers have drafted Christian Eyenga in the 30th pick of first round. Draft night for the Cleveland Cavaliers took them overseas; they have selected Christian Eyenga from Congo, he is 6 ft 6 with 210-lbs weight his forward average is 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots in 25 games with CB Prat Juventud in Spain. The early opinion about Christian Eyenga is that you will not be able to see much of him in 2009-2010 seasons because he will be spending much of his time overseas to get more practice and experience. Christian Eyenga is just 20-years-old and he got plenty of time to get ready for the professional game. He is a defensive minded but very athletic player, sounds like Mike Brown to me.
The French-speaking Christian Eyenga told the press that he was surprised when Cavaliers drafted him. If you see with Cleveland Cavaliers point of view this move will give them a young player they can stash overseas without paying him or to schedule a spot for him.
NBA Commissioner David Stern appeared somewhat amused and not sure how to pronounce Christian Eyenga’s name correctly. The capability to uphold Eyenga’s draft rights devoid of a monetary compulsion to him is significant for a team that has slight flexibility beneath the payment limit, mainly after drafting the big player like Shaquille O’Neal.
