Lendeborg Shines as Warriors’ MVP | NBA News

Yaxel Lendeborg, the 11th pick in the draft, just won MVP at the Las Vegas Summer League, dropping 21 points and 10 rebounds in the championship win over Memphis. At just 23, he’s already proving he can deliver NBA-ready impact — especially with his sharp shooting — and carries the calm confidence of a veteran. Inspired by LeBron James, he’s embracing pressure like a seasoned pro and positioning himself as a secondary playmaker to ease the load on Steph Curry. Coaches rave about his coachability and work ethic, even if his defense needs polish. With veterans needing rest, Lendeborg’s readiness and team-first mindset make him exactly what the Warriors need.
