Draymond Green impressed by Warriors rookie Lendeborg
Green praised the rookie forward's shooting and feel for the game after San Diego mini-camp, while cautioning that NBA minutes against stars like Leonard and Durant are a different challenge.
Draymond Green has given his take on Yaxel Lendeborg after spending time with the Golden State rookie at the team's voluntary mini-camp in San Diego.
""
Lendeborg, a forward, arrived at Golden State this year and has yet to play an NBA minute. Green, entering his 14th season with the Warriors, has built a reputation as one of the league's sharper on-court minds, which makes his read on a newcomer worth noting.
The comparison Green reached for says something about the standard he is measuring against: facing Kawhi Leonard one night and Kevin Durant the next is, in his words, a different game altogether from anything a young player has seen before.
Golden State open the regular season in October. Whether Lendeborg's shooting translates against that level of competition will not be clear until then.
