Yaxel Lendeborg Will Be A Top 5 Rookie in the NBA This Season

The Warriors' summer league run gave Dub Nation its first real look at rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, and the hosts break down exactly what his fast start means heading into the regular season. From his polish and basketball IQ to comparisons with fellow rookie Cam Boozer, this segment digs into whether Golden State found a steady, plug-and-play contributor or something more. The conversation also goes behind the scenes on draft night, revisiting the moment cameras caught Joe Lacob visibly frustrated in the war room — and why it had nothing to do with disappointment in the pick itself. Then a caller phones in with a hot take that the Warriors reached, comparing Lendeborg to a solid-but-unspectacular role player rather than a difference-maker, sparking a full-on debate between the hosts.
