The Warriors Got a Steal — Mike Boynton Jr.

The Warriors just landed Yaxel Lendeborg — and Michigan's own Mike Boynton Jr. joined the show to break down exactly what Dub Nation is getting. This is a player who's been compared to a future star, and the coach who worked closest with him gave us the full scouting report, the backstory, and a few honest concerns too. Boynton dives into the numbers that make Lendeborg special, including a jaw-dropping assist-to-turnover stat that most casual fans have no idea about. He also opens up about the emotional reason Lendeborg plays with so much urgency, his mentality as a winner-first teammate, and why the "he's almost 24" narrative might be way overblown. We also get into where Lendeborg still needs to improve before he can be a real difference-maker for Golden State, plus a fun moment about video games revealing exactly where he learned his elite passing instincts. Topics discussed include: Yaxel Lendeborg's size, skill set, and playstyle fit with the Warriors The insane assist-to-turnover stat that stands out from his college tape His mother's cancer battle and how it fuels his drive to win Why the "he's old for a prospect" talk misses the point The one area of his shooting game that needs work How Michigan keeps producing NBA-ready talent His connection to Steph Curry and Coach Kerr's system Do you think Yaxel Lendeborg is going to be a steal for the Warriors, or are people overhyping him?
