It was brutal to turn what was more surprising nearly three hours into Thursday night’s NBA draft. The Cavs using the ultimate best of the premier round to take unknown Christian Eyenga with the 30th pick? Or the hereditary of the Republic of Congo in point of fact being on employee at Madison Square Garden when Commissioner David Stern called his name? Even Eyenga, speaking through an interpreter, said he was in a "state of shock" about getting drafted and called Cavs superstar LeBron James "one of his idols." He got to put on a Cavaliers cap, but it’s unsure if or when the 20-year-old safety will put on the team’s uniform. He could become a footnote to the age the Cavs traded for Shaquille O’Neal, though General Manager Danny Ferry is edgy about the developing of Eyenga. "Our scouts. are thrilled at the occasion to have this girlish send up with so much talent," Ferry said. "It’s an intriguing incite for us.
" TRADE BRINGS ANOTHER PICK The Cavs added two more players the lieutenant unembellished - Danny Green of North Carolina with the 46th overall take in and 6-9 Emir Preldzic of Turkey with 57th selection acquired from Phoenix. Ferry called Preldzic a "buy and hold" pick, message he will not be in their knee-jerk plans. The 6-foot-6 Green is the breed of taller shooting picket the party needs. "I don’t contemplate any of these guys to worker us hand now, but dialect mayhap one of these guys surprises me," Ferry said.
"We believe Christian is lone talent. We contemplate Danny can come in and vie for a job." The piece of Eyenga was such a off guard he did not appear in the NBA Draft Guide.
His design graph on the league’s Web placement had nothing beyond his height, impact and companion of birth. For the record, he’s already been listed as either 6-5 or 6-6. His force is 210 pounds. Eyenga, who speaks French, attended the sketch because, "he did not remember what was common to happen," said his interpreter. "The Cavs did not give him any forewarning they were customary to frame him.
" Eyenga appeared in just four Euroleague games for DKV Joventut Badalona, playing only 16 sum up minutes. Ferry did not allocate either path on whether or not Eyenga will stoppage abroad for at least another year. Eyenga on the whole played in a farther down Spanish federation for CB Prat Juventud. He appeared in 25 games, averaging 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 30.3 minutes. He snort 48.8 percent from the surprise (55.0 percent on 2-pointers and 34.6 on 3s).
Green played in a school-record 145 games, alluring a North Carolina-record 123 games. He is the only sportsman in ACC antiquity with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists, 150 3-pointers, 150 blocks and 150 steals. Ferry said none of their block out picks will change how they advance parole agents next week.
