Kyrie better be getting ready to throw some lobs!
the move at 0:20 is actually real nice.

dude has gotta be the best pure athlete in the NBA
call me optimistic but i think he could be in discussion with Harden and Derozan as the 2nd best young SG in the league by next season

The kid has the tools, his ceiling simply depends on how hard he is working. That cross over looked pretty decent though. If he can develop a solid first step and a more consistent three ball, he can be a handful.

My favorite play last season was when he punked Kobe, went baseline and posterized Gasol. Classic

Anyone else see a slightly poor mans version of DeMar DeRozan in him? Both are sized like a 2 guard but have more of a 3's skill set...if Eyenga can improve his handles, learns how to move off of screens and develops a nice three point shot, he could be a nice starting 2 in the league. Those are some big if's, but hopefully he's up for the challenge. Dude is a great athlete and seems like a humble kid, i'd like to see him improve and get minutes.

I actually think he could be better than derozan, hes just as athletic but has a better handle and jump shot. I think his ceiling is the good version of Josh Howard.

Please, let's have nothing that might incite Toronto fans. It's all we could do to keep them out of here since they believe that Valanciunas will be a hall of famer. Eventhough I'm sure most of them probably don't remember them saying the very same things about Araujo in 2004 and don't get me started on Bargnani.

Exactly. His ball handling and a more fluid, quicker jumper will get him a long way

To be realistic about it, I think Eyenga's ceiling is as a rich man's Ariza. The rich man's portion would include having a better shot selection and not such a putrid FG%.

That's because Ariza thinks he is a legit #1 or 2 option, we all saw how well that worked in Houston

I remember Boobie talking bout Eyengas Athletism in the Summer League last year! Boobie said he was a beast. Damn he was right!

Ouch.. But Outty, your post might incite some Raptor fans.

Inciting is quite easy I guess. A GB thread has 5 replies bashing the Cavs and no one cares but one insult towards the Raptors and they get defensive.

at this point, he does seem like a slightly more raw derozan...he should be given the demar treatment next year, start him and see what he can do much like demar's rookie year...but demar has kobe-like work ethic, im not so sure bout this guy

His ceiling is a Stacey Augmon.

Eyenga will likely be a lot better at stretching the floor than Augmon ever was.

He already is a better scorer than Stacey Augmon ever was. In fact, I don't see any reason to even compare the two.

i really look forward on how he develops. For the Cleveland franchise I would like him to really reach his max potential (wherever that might be).
btw. i really like your board
