Warriors' Steve Kerr pinpoints key area for Yaxel Lendeborg to improve
Steve Kerr detailed a key area of improvement for the Golden State Warriors rookie following their win over the Los Angeles Lakers
Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg has been excelling during the Golden State Warriors' preseason, putting up 21 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks in just 40 minutes across two games. His shooting efficiency has been impressive, hitting 47.1% from the field and 50% from three-point range. Despite his strong start, head coach Steve Kerr has identified an area for improvement in Lendeborg's game: his stance when playing off-ball.
In an interview with ESPN's Anthony Slater, Kerr noted that Lendeborg tends to stand up a bit too much when off-ball, as seen against the Clippers. This minor adjustment could have a significant impact, particularly on the defensive end. While it's likely that Lendeborg will continue to improve throughout the season, especially with increased playing time, Kerr and the coaching staff are committed to helping him develop into a crucial contributor for the Warriors.
