UNC Basketball Rookie Elliot Cadeau Skies for Ridiculous Slam
With five minutes remaining in the first half of Wednesday night's home game against unranked Louisville, UNC basketball freshman guard Elliot Cadeau, a slick speedster and full-time starter for the No. 4 Tar Heels (13-3, 5-0 ACC), showed again what he can do in the flight department.
After exhibiting his aggressive peskiness in snagging a steal at the top of the key on the defensive end, the 6-foot-1, 180-pound ACC Preseason Rookie of the Year geared up then sped up to pull off a transition display that arguably now stands as his most impressive flight and finish at the rim as a UNC basketball player.
Check out the replay of the determined-to-dunk Cadeau:
