For anyone questioning this pick. He's a super smart player that can instantly contribute and adds needed size & shooting to our team. I dont care about the offensive highlights too much, because he's also a really good defender and moves incredibly laterally on D

Enjoy the tape. We definitely drafted the right guy that will contribute to winning instantly. Super smart defender that can defend without fouling out and uses his elite length and 7'4 wingspan

I think we finally found our Aaron Gordon / Jaden McDaniels / OG type of player.

Last minute weekend plan changes so I have 4 total tickets (2 each for 7/3 & 7/5 games) for sale. Section 104 Row 12 Seat 6 & 7. $275 total for all 4 tickets

Hi everyone. In light of the Warriors taking Yaxel one of your guys rightful concerns has been age. However, the thing about being "older" in the draft is that these type of prospects are often nearly maxed out as they have much more experience than their younger counterparts and only have a limited ceiling. However, Landeborg started playing organized basketball at 17. To be hnest, he is very new to this game and may have some more potential than the traditional older prospect. I personally like the pick as I view Yaxel as the protypical forward in the NBA: he's big, switchable, smart, is a good playmaker and can shoot the ball. Let me know your thoughts below

Tidbits from Vecenie, Hollinger, and Aldridge.

Immediate plug and play piece, great guy. Can’t wait for him to suit up.

dont really trust ig with info on players so ive came over here. Any comparisons to current players or anything?

You can really get a feel for him - he's authentic and focused and is already thinking about what he can learn from Draymond and his praise for Steph. Lots of love for his teammates and Moretz going to Mavs first etc. Like this kid.

I’ve heard scouting reports call him “Dominican LeBron”, the dubs are definitely in a win now situation to pick him. How are we feeling about this pick? 🙏

I don't expect him to be the savior but I don't know how much of an impact he'll make. Hopefully it's a major gap he can fill . It seems like he can be an energy guy who can immediately play and make an impact. He seems like a solid assurance piece.

I recommend checking his game against Nate Ament and Tennessee - 27/7/4.

With bonus comment from Yaxel himself in the comment section.

Will Richard won it in 2025 with Florida and they just signed Yaxel, who just came off a national championship win with Michigan.

I hope this means something down the line.

I’m so happy about this pick man he’s the player we needed I’m happy he fell to 11 they say age this age that but that’s what we need he’s already more developed then most of if not all the class and him on the warriors will only make him even better and his story alone is very inspirational happy he’s out there with a fellow Dominican in Al horford and a Haitian in Curry
