Over the past few seasons, Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins has become accustomed to being the dunker - not the dunkee.

Leuer, 26, was acquired by the Suns from the Memphis Grizzlies during June's NBA Draft in exchange for No. 44 pick Andrew Harrison.

With career averages of 4.6 points and 2.8 rebounds over the last four seasons, Leuer's on-court exploits may not stand out to most casual hoops fans. However, he has put the league on notice on a few occasions with the odd head-turning rack-attack.
