San Francisco — The Golden State Warriors will evaluate six draft prospects on Thursday, headlined by Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg, the club announced on social media.
Lendeborg, a 6-foot-9 senior who will turn 24 in September, earned Big Ten Player of the Year honors, was a consensus first-team All-American and helped the Wolverines capture the 2026 national championship. Widely viewed as one of the most NBA-ready players in this year’s class, he is projected to go in the lottery. Golden State owns the No. 11 selection.
The workout group also features Tennessee center Felix Okpara (No. 46 on ESPN’s big board), Utah State guard Drake Allen, Illinois guard Kylan Boswell (No. 55), South Carolina guard Meechie Johnson and Ole Miss forward Malik Dia.
