Given his experience, size and athleticism, Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg makes for an intriguing selection at No. 11. Considering that the Warriors are searching for a "win now" type of prospect, Lendeborg could be their best bet.
En route to an NCAA championship with Michigan last season, Lendeborg averaged 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals. At 6'9", Lendeborg would become one of Golden State's most versatile defensive players, which would help him fit seamlessly into head coach Steve Kerr's rotation. Compared to fantastic NBA role players like OG Anunoby and Aaron Gordon, Lendeborg may not be the most high-upside prospect, but he could become a star in his role alongside two-time MVP Stephen Curry.
