The Cavaliers sent Christian Eyenga to the D-League to work on his defense and Byron Scott has received positive reports.

Cleveland wants to leave Eyenga with the Erie Bayhawks for a few more games before they consider recalling him.

"Every day he looks more like an NBA player," Scott said.

"He's starting to understand what he needs to do on the defensive end every night. We preached every single day defense to him, because we know his athleticism will take over sooner or later. He knows how to shoot it and put the ball in the basket, but at the other end of the floor, he has to be aggressive and has to be a guy that can guard multiple positions. He's heading in that direction."
