Yaxel Lendeborg’s NBA Debut | Golden State Warriors News

Golden State Warriors just drafted Yaxel Lendeborg 11th overall — a Michigan phenom who averaged 15+ points, 6+ rebounds, and 3+ assists while leading his team to a national title and winning Big Ten Player of the Year. He also took home Summer League MVP and led the Warriors to a championship in Vegas. Former theater major, rom-com fan, and self-proclaimed Joker enthusiast, Lendeborg’s parents both played for the Dominican Republic — so he’ll be representing them too. Nicknamed “Dominican LeBron” by teammates, he’s not thrilled with the hype but is eager to learn from Steph Curry — whom he once hated. Wearing No. 1 in honor of a UAB mentor, Lendeborg is poised to make an immediate impact in the Bay.
