Golden State Warriors Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg Shines Before Sitting Out Preseason

Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg rested during Wednesday's preseason game against Portland following an impressive 17-point, 9-rebound performance on 7-of-11 shooting against the Lakers. The 24-year-old 11th overall pick noted that rebounding in the NBA feels easier than in college, calling opponents "lazy" on the boards. Coach Steve Kerr wants the summer league champion to maintain an aggressive, score-first mindset off the bench.
