Summary
Warriors shock the league by drafting Yaxel Lendeborg with the 11th pick—yes, they passed on trade offers to keep him. Behind the scenes, owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. were just shutting down a deal, revealing they’d had Lendeborg as their top target since their first choice went off the board. This marks their first lottery pick since 2021’s Jonathan Kuminga—and fans hope Lendeborg’s smoother path to the NBA (junior college → UAB → national champ Michigan) pays off. A polished, veteran-ready prospect, he could be the quiet spark this Warriors roster needs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
