Warriors Select Yaxel Lendeborg at No. 11

The Golden State Warriors drafted Michigan wing Yaxel Lendeborg with the 11th overall pick. During his introduction, Lendeborg candidly admitted he previously disliked Stephen Curry due to his fandom of Kyrie Irving. GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. dismissed concerns regarding the prospect's age, and reports indicate the selection followed an animated discussion between owner Joe Lacob and the front office. Lendeborg is one of three Michigan players selected in the 2026 lottery.
