Lacob lauds landing Landeborg: Warriors 'got this one right'
After just two weeks, Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob is already convinced the team nailed its drafting of 24-year-old wing Yaxel Lendeborg.
"Some teams never get it right, and we got this one right," Lacob told 95.7 The Game on Monday. "I was 100% sold that this was the guy we wanted in the draft."
Lendeborg, who was selected by the Warriors with the 11th pick this year, has exploded onto the scene, averaging 21.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists over his first eight NBA games. He had a 37-point breakout performance Sunday night, leading the Warriors to a win over the LA Clippers without the resting Steph Curry.
