Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg is already making headlines after dominating the NBA Summer League with 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game — stats that earned him MVP honors and a national title in college. Coach Steve Kerr raves about his natural basketball IQ and passing instincts, though he’s pushing Lendeborg to be more aggressive offensively. Despite a rough pre-draft interview that reportedly made the Warriors think he was a “jackass,” Lendeborg matured quickly, leading his team to victory and earning praise from veterans like Draymond Green. At just 23, Lendeborg is poised to earn significant minutes in training camp and could play a major role early in the season — all while thriving under Kerr’s guidance and the Warriors’ veteran-led system.
