Stephen Curry has compared Yaxel Lendeborg to Jimmy Butler, adding intrigue into how the pieces fit once the veteran returns to the Golden State Warriors.
Stephen Curry has compared rookie forward Yaxel Lendeborg to teammate Jimmy Butler, praising the 24-year-old's offensive threat and ability to break down defenses. Despite the Golden State Warriors dropping to an 0-3 start this season, Lendeborg impressed by posting a career-high 26 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in Saturday's loss against the Phoenix Suns.
Blue Man Hoop argues that Lendeborg's versatile skill set and outside shooting will make him an ideal frontcourt partner alongside Butler once the veteran returns from a torn ACL. Writer Peter O'Keefe also questions how this pairing might impact Draymond Green's long-term role in the starting lineup.
