The Golden State Warriors, owners of the No. 11 selection in the 2026 NBA Draft, could land a major value pick if Michigan standout Yaxel Lendeborg is still available, according to a June 17 report from the New York Post.
The Post notes that Lendeborg’s combination of college production and pro-ready skill makes him a candidate to outperform his draft position. Team evaluators cited in the report believe the 6-foot-9 forward’s versatility on both ends of the floor would fit seamlessly into Golden State’s system.
While several prospects remain in play for the Warriors, the article emphasizes that Lendeborg could emerge as one of the draft’s biggest steals should he slip outside the top 10 and into Golden State’s range.
