[Highlight] Yaxel Lendeborg goes 4⁄4 from 3.
Summer league overreactions start now and I’m in on them. Dude looks legit.
Trade everyone. Build around Yaxel.
we may never lose again
I always said we didn’t need AD, healthy or no.
LeBron big dummy if he doesn’t join for the opportunity to play alongside Yaxel.
I mean, especially considering they’re the same age.
42 and 24 , close enough
Steph, we’re good, Yaxel is here
I would be absolutely up in arms and it would put me off the warriors worse than the Bimbo Coles/BJ Armstrong backcourt…. But man, imagine the haul we would get back for Curry. Just not resign Draymond and let Jimmy expire. Starting with a clean slate cap wise with picks and other young players.
It would piss off 90% of the fan base, but there are timelines out there where it happens.
Yall shud do that trade Steph to my heat give him a chance to win another one
Not Podz 😩
The only reason he was drafted at 11 because he is 24 when the regular season start but the size, defense and feel for the game are legit
If he was 19, he’d 100% be top 4.
When he was 19 he wasn’t good lol
Didn’t he not get serious about basketball until his later teens?
Didnt start playing until 17 iirc
This is colossally wrong but gets repeated constantly. He was pretty much born with a basketball in his hands - both his mom and dad played for the Dominican national team.
What happened is he got booted off his high school freshmen team mid-season for poor grades. Eventually at 17 years old he got his act and grades together and was able to join the varsity team for the last 11 games of his senior year, and in that short time frame impressed enough to get a juco offer.
So basically he was Timo Cruz from Coach Carter
grades improved enough or grew to 6 ft 9?
this is probably actually really good for player as gifted as him
he won’t have the wear and tear all the rest of the players in his draft class has, less chance of injury
Until after high school
He was only academically eligible to play in high school for the first half of his freshman season and last half of his senior season. So, kind of. For a while he wasn’t serious enough about hoops to make the effort to be serious about his schooling.
I meant in the sense that if his age right now was 19 instead of 23, he’d have been a top 4 pick. He’s only been playing organized basketball for 5 years though.
That person’s reply was one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in a while.
Hopefully you mean the person you’re responding to lol
Only played a few years - still a lot of growth and teaching possible. And great vibes.
I’m just here to freak out
If he was 20 he would have went top 3.
That’s it, cancel next season, and just give the Warriors the championship right now
What do you mean? Scottie Pippin Jr is the goat.
yeah hitting 4 threes means 12 points scored so far
Lebron, Yaxel Lendeberg is here, we’re good
Le…ndeberg?
LeNdeborg
Idk man, I remember what happened to rookie Wiggins when he went back to Cleveland.
Glad to know we drafted the future goat
Now old man, the future is
I hate yall for taking him away from our thunder
Will someone please think of the Thunder.. they need this 🥺
Lebron you dont get to say that gif
Bro you got Mara
I know, 7 foot 3 monster that has great pass , touch and defense at what the 12th pick.
I got the impression they were targeting the other two Michigan boys anyways.
Nearly 6’10 in shoes btw
Crazy wingspan too
How about his dong?
Small but packs a punch
Grower not a “show”her
Scouting report indicates he is a grower, not a shower.
Unfortunately cannot compare with Morez
I really hope Yax continues the tradition of unhinged Lives with teammates (he won’t)
So he’s either KD or Kevin Knox
He’s the KD of Kevin Knox’s.
That’s tiny compared to Wemby
Dang all four shots seemed amazingly identical in every way to my untrained eye
His consistency is incredible. To get each shot exactly the same like that.. warriors are on to something here.
what’s impressive is that he recognizes the exact same play on all 4 possessions, gets to his spot and drains it. I could watch this over and over again
Bro keep watching. He hit 10 in a row by my estimation.
Defense never adjusted
I’m here to overreact
Triple Yaxel let’s goooo
With Will Richard, the two are 8⁄8 combined from 3 at the half. Splash Bros 2.0 has loaded
Arizona Western legend
As a Michigan fan I wanted the Pistons to move heaven and earth to get him on draft night. I cant stress enough how badly we need a player like him at PF right now
yep, our drafts have been doo doo. i wanted mccain the other year and now yax. could really use both
Splash Nephew
The Splashson
They said he was ready to contribute right away.
Dude also looks huge out there. So wild that Michigan played him next to Mara and Morez Johnson
“But he’s 24” eat my dick u haters
Bet where you at
His defense sucked in this game, and he takes too long to release the shots, and you know it
I’m not saying he’s bad or great yet. Wait until he meets real NBA resistance and not Summer League boys.
4⁄4 from 3 while getting contested on 2 of them but he’s shot takes too long? You are the hater that needs to suck it
Really bucking up on a summer league game. Always be this way nba fandom
I typically wait until the HOF induction speech before I form an opinion on a player
His jumpshot looks so good, I see a Rudy Gay type career from him.
NOT THIS GUY!
This is the weirdest comp ever lol there only similar in body type
Shot looked similar
He looks great rn. Moving well off ball, hitting his open 3s, pushing the pace on offense, and making good passes
Hoping its more of a sign than Zion’s 3’s in his first game.
Goes 4⁄4 from 3 and you only show 1 of them? Hoe ass
Against the Lakers, doesn’t count
I hope LeBron paying attention.
okay but where’s the adou thiero crackhead compilation from this game
That’s a smooth stroke but that’s not NBA game speed. He’s a real baller but he’s going to have to claw his way up the NBA.
Idk I think it’s reasonable to begin HoF lobbying based on what we’ve seen so far
Is it an overreaction to say he will start on opening night
I meannnn who else are they gonna put at the SF? Unless we get LeBron he’s starting
Only Santos is our other option but defo rather start Yax lol
this is such a bad title/clip.
goes 4⁄4….you expect to see all 4 lol
Pretty good analytically
He is him.
Why is there only 1 3 shown lol
Bron you see this???
Doesn’t count, he’s 24
Looks like an awful zone defense
Damn, that’s a smooth looking shooting motion
Im sorry summer league has started? Time is literally morphing.
YAXELLLL
highlight yaxel hits a three
Yaxellence of Yaxecution is upon us.
Golden State where they give you the sweat of Curry to drink so you gain his shooting.
I’ve seen enough, trade curry for picks you got your guy
Not bad for a dude on the wrong side of 30
He looks comfortable not rushing his shot and seeing the floor. Seems like a legitimate starter-level talent in the long term.
Warriors got their guy, its over for the league.
That’s my fuckin dawg right there GO BLUE
Yaxel Lendeborg has so much nickname potential. The Borg, swinging the Yaxe, YLB, Yax’ Em for any bad horror fans
Triple Yaxel
Young pj Washington
Stfu
He’s the oldest player on the court. I’d hope he’d be able to beat guys half his age
That dude on the lakers definitely older lol
No he’s not. He’s acutally one of the youngest on the Warriors summer league roster
Well yeah but he was actually drafted to the NBA, in the lottery no less.
And so far showing he was worth the pick
