Steve Kerr on Yaxel Lendeborg’s 37-point night: “He’s playing this way and he really doesn’t know the NBA game yet…He’s going to get a lot better.”
The people in the comments saying he’s 24 and won’t get any better baffle me . This guy literally started taking ball seriously 6 years ago . He may near a physical prime but in no way has he hit his ceiling .
He played only 11 games of high school ball
For comparison Cam Boozer played 123 for his highschool. Then you add on his AAU games and Team USA games.
He may be older than the guys drafted ahead of him but he actually has a lack of in-game experience compared to them
Like Kerr said, the mental development as he physically sees coverages and sets is inevitable. Then there’s whatever skills he develops over the coming years.
That’s the scary part
Go Valks
Tiger mom Steve Kerr, “why only A- no A+?”
😂😂😂
post steph years = secured
Are you kidding me? He ain’t bringing your team to relevance
He got lucky he did well tn
oh don’t worry, he doesn’t need to be like luka for warriors to be relevant. the franchise is bigger than the lakers so there’s that
There’s zero chance the Warriors will be more relevant than the Lakers even if both teams were bad at the same time lmfao
Well sure but also who tf cares about that y’all blew a 25 point lead last game lmao
yeah, sure bud, if you’re happy
lol
Bad take
Podz being injected with CURRY MOJO on the daily for years and now Yax is getting JImmyB and Draymond infusions to carry GSW enter the future once those guys retire shortly.
No Steve you don’t understand he’s 24 so this is actually the best he’ll ever be. If I’m golden state I’m looking to sell high before the decline starts in earnest
lol guys usually peak at 30
People really need to get better at picking up sarcasm lol 😭
So they should trade a 24 year old who is averaging 20ppg for a 30 year old averaging 20ppg?
24 isn’t nba prime , we have to quit that narrative .
Agreed, we’d be lucky to get compensation like what the sixers got for McCain
Is it just me, doesnt this read as sarcasm? Why r ppl responding to this comment seriously? Lol
Naw he can’t get better, he’s 24
Are people really unable to detect the sarcasm in these comments? Not sure why the downvotes lol these all got me to chuckle
Haha that’s funny people didn’t get it actually. Glad you did. I thought it was funny
Of course he’ll get better but the scouting hasn’t caught up to him yet. It’ll be interesting to see when he starts being treated like the 2nd or 3rd option.
Meh. Not impressed.
All I hear is no excuses for Wardell this year
Let’s see your guy actually suit up in the playoffs; instead of relying on old GOAT 🐐
