Warriors Draft Lendeborg Amid Drama

Golden State Warriors land Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg, a 23-year-old senior phenom averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds while shooting over 60% from the field — a rare talent who just led his team to a championship. Despite behind-the-scenes tension between owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy Jr., the pick signals a bold move for the Warriors, who now welcome Lendeborg to join Steph Curry and Draymond Green. He’s the third Michigan player off the board this year — joining Morez Johnson Jr. and Aday Mara — highlighting the Wolverines’ dominance. With his elite stats and championship pedigree, Lendeborg’s NBA journey is just beginning, and the Warriors are banking on him bringing that winning mindset to the Bay Area.
