Wilson Shines in Vegas as Lendeborg Captures Summer League MVP

Caleb Wilson torches the Vegas Summer League for Chicago with elite scoring and a sharp three-point stroke, while Golden State's Yaxel Lendeborg posts a 21-point, 10-rebound performance to win the championship and MVP. The event also tested a one-free-throw rule, Drake Powell endured a brutal shooting slump, Jon Elmore drew buzz with a bald celebration, and Darius Acuff Jr. flashed defensive gaps that teams will note as they project to the NBA.

Lendeborg's hot summer league run puts Warriors at a crossroad

Yaxel Lendeborg again led Golden State in summer league, posting 14 points on 4-of-8 three-pointers with 2 rebounds and 4 assists in under 25 minutes as the Warriors beat the Thunder 104-79. His 13-of-21 shooting from long range over four games has GS weighing whether to keep him on the floor for the remainder of the summer league or shut him down to protect him for training camp, while balancing conditioning and defensive gaps against his versatile offense and potential for MVP/All-Summer League honors if the team clinches the title.

He outplayed former Michigan teammate Aday Mara, including a notable jump-ball win, and showcased his scoring flair, though his defense remains a work in progress. The Warriors moved to 4-1 in Las Vegas as they prep for their next game against Memphis.

Lendeborg Eyes Opening Night Start as LeBron Decision Looms

Yaxel Lendeborg impressed in Golden State's summer league, posting a 21-point, 10-rebound, 6-assist double-double and signaling he could be in the rotation as a potential opening-night starter. His path hinges on LeBron James' free-agent decision: if James signs elsewhere, a vacancy at small forward could thrust Lendeborg into a starting role from day one; if James signs with the Warriors, Lendeborg could still develop as a ball-handler/shooter and push for significant minutes while learning from a legend. Either way, the 11th overall pick has Warriors fans' attention for next season.

Warriors land Yaxel Lendeborg, but still seek a true game-changer

Golden State drafted Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg with the 11th pick, hoping his size (6‑9, 241 pounds), elite two-way tools and 37% 3-point shooting can plug in immediately. The selection comes after the Bucks snagged Brayden Burries, leaving the Warriors short of a true star, and underscores the team’s pattern of adding solid role players rather than a franchise-altering difference-maker. At 24, Lendeborg is older but has the versatility Kerr values and could log meaningful minutes as Curry and Green age, but the Warriors still need a swingman who can tilt the floor and create offense when the system stalls.

Warriors bet big on Yaxel Lendeborg with 11th pick in 2026 draft

Golden State selected 6-foot-9 Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg with the No. 11 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, ranking him among the Warriors’ top prospects in a deep class. A team source cited by Tim Kawakami said Lendeborg was only surpassed on their board by Brayden Burries and Duke’s Cam Boozer, with Boozer clearly higher. The 23-year-old’s age and versatile wing profile fit Golden State’s plan, and the club reportedly wasn’t worried about his birthdate. Boozer went No. 3 to Memphis, and Golden State remains optimistic about Lendeborg’s potential future impact.
