球證都有巔峰期

NBA ref Scott Foster told Reggie Miller he feels “the best he's felt in years” as he enters his 33rd season 🔥

Foster missed seven weeks last season with a calf injury before returning to officiate the playoffs

Warriors assistant Kris Weems on Jonathan Kuminga:

"What I would tell him all the time is, 'You gotta do some of the things that you don't want to do to do the things that you want to do.' And I don’t think he really understood that. Steve [Kerr] was asking, like, run the floor, get to the corner, and everything. But JK wasn't absorbing how important playing off the ball was for us. [Wiggins] figured it out... He started to figure out the pin-ins, and how to attack, using [Stephen Curry] as the decoy. JK just was like, 'Just give me the ball, man.'"

Yaxel Lendeborg Learns How To Survive in the Bay | Rookie Dinner w/ Vets Aaron Gordon & Drew Gooden

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4HPAloBMmQ

Aaron Gordon’s advice for Yaxel Lendeborg:

“As far as like, your NBA journey bro, just stay with it. There’s some freaks in this league, you know what I mean? Like, real monsters in this league. This shit will humble you. Thought I was the #1 option in Orlando. Not really. You know what I mean? Got to Denver, took a couple of steps back, won a championship, improved my game. Now, you know, this league is going to humble you. Just always bring that shit, bro. What you learned from like, your mom’s, what you learned from the job. Bring that. Bring that. That’s why the Warriors picked you, bro.”

“Playing with generational talents like Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic makes the game hella easy, bro. Watch how he works and then just start pulling from it. Just start pulling, start pulling, start pulling. Add it to your game and then do what you can to get back to him while you’re on the court. The more you give out, the more that comes back around, bro… I say just guard, bro. Everybody’s always going to be able to use that.”

Mistah F.A.B. tells Yaxel and Aaron Gordon a story about Steph giving back to the Bay Area:

"I think if you do have any aspirations of showing up in some of these areas where they're underserved communities, just be authentic, not even come in with the cameras. Two summers ago, I rebuilt the neighborhood basketball court that I grew up playing on . . . Steph came out, played basketball with the kids, actually went 1's, like somebody came, got one on him, whole crowd went crazy. He's like 'Give me the ball, let me lock in.' That level of selflessness made people just, they're engulfed in love with him forever. For the rest of our lives, we'll remember Steph Curry came to this basketball court and if you're going to do something with these kids for these communities, just show up and do that. That alone will make people feel like you're one of us."

New: Asked Nuggets' Aaron Gordon what he saw from #Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg Monday night. He didn't mince words.

Gordon to @sfchronicle: "Yaxel has an opportunity to be special in this league, man. Just all the tools, his size, his strength ... he's ready. It's cool to see Steve Kerr empower him."

On the night when nobody could stop a 24-year-old in his fourth NBA game:

Draymond Green speaks on Yaxel Lendeborg’s upside and development:

“He’s definitely getting better each and every day. It’s extremely exciting because there’s so much he don’t know. He don’t know A LOT.

I told him last game, if at any point you feel like I’m saying too much to you, you can tell me “not right now I don’t want to hear it” or “I’m good”, because I’m going to try to give you everything I know.

And I find myself talking to him the entire game just telling him something different and he can apply it right away. Like you tell him something and he come down the next play and it happens, he applies it right away so that’s special in itself.“

Broadcast clearly catches Steve calling, 'Elbow Yax.'

Again, screen for Yax at the elbow, he creates on the ball, inverted ballscreen, weak side pinches in, Yax finds Melton in the corner.

Such an awesome all-around game for the rookie.

硬朗真係好人屎

Steph Curry says Yaxel Lendeborg will develop right in front of everybody’s eyes:

“We’ve had rookies, young guys, who — they’re helping, but it doesn’t really show because they’re not getting minutes, or not getting opportunity because of the situation. But he’s going to develop right in front of everybody’s eyes.”

Damian Lillard was watching the NBA Draft in June when the #Warriors hit the clock.

"I turned over to my boy and I said, 'They about to pick Yaxel.'"

Lillard saw Yaxel Lendeborg + GSW last Fri. Why he believes he's "looked like exactly what they need:"

Yaxel talks about his journey to the NBA with Aaron Gordon and Drew Gooden 🥹

"For me, growing up, I was always like a baseball guy. My grandpa introduced me to that, so when he passed away, I kind of like lost it mentally because he was my father figure pretty much my whole life. I stopped playing sports and was going down a really bad, dark path. I get to high school, I was just goofing off. I don't really care about anything. I'm not playing no sports, I just had nothing. I went back to working at a warehouse job and then I got forced again by my mom to go play at a camp in New York. It was like a Dominican camp and I got recognized there. Got an offer from a JUCO in Arizona Western and that kind of started my basketball journey."

事實上，Lendeborg是屬於機體足夠好的球員，駕馭240磅的體重卻有優異的速度和敏捷性，即便對應NBA層級的側翼都有優勢，他的成熟度確實和年紀有關，但完整的技能線更多來自於優異的機體

Lendeborg會在大學停留這麼長時間，第一個原因是起步晚，他因為學業成績不夠，高一高二不能參加籃球隊，直到高三賽季後半段才參與正規比賽，進入大學的前三年，他打的甚至不是NCAA，而是以社區大學和專科為主的NJCAA。

直到他的第四個大學賽季，才轉進阿拉巴馬大學伯明罕分校－以NBA的視野來看依然是中段聯盟的小學校，而在第五個賽季打完，在Lendeborg還沒機會站上較大的舞台時，他已經被預期能在2025年首輪中選，是因為密西根提供了巨額的NIL，Lendeborg才決定轉校進行最後一個大學賽季。

2026年，Lendeborg首次進入NCAA的一線戰區，錦標賽最後帶傷打完，結果是替密西根奪下校史第二座總冠軍。

若和Keegan & Kris Murray打過的預校來比較，預校的性質比較偏向post-grad prep school，基本上算是高中的延伸，等於是介於高中和大學間的一個正規途徑，目標是被NCAA第一級球隊招募，而NJCAA則是大學層級，有許多20+的球員，在這裡，身體對抗比預校更硬，但性質更偏向「被NCAA淘汰」的球員所組成。

有些人狀況和Lendeborg相似，也是在等待一個重新被看見的機會，但非常難。

最根本的問題，在於NJCAA比賽能見度幾乎是0，沒有觀眾、沒有轉播、沒有媒體報導，甚至找不到統計數據的地方，Lendeborg在NJCAA這三年，數據網站登載的資料是did not play，當然不是他沒打球，而是NJCAA極為不受重視。

在這裡，想往上爬，除了參加一些招募性質的比賽外，就是要靠教練間的口碑，然而這依然是有侷限性的，因為NCAA第一級的強隊，更多是走高中生招募和NCAA本身的轉學市場來取得球員，會關注NJCAA球員的，多半也只是想找到某種功能性角色。

以2023年找到Lendeborg的UAB來說，不能算是真實定義的弱校，但排名大概就在350支第一級球隊中的90-120這個區間，校史進過12次錦標賽，最近一次還是靠聯盟冠軍的名額進去的，且從沒出過NBA首輪球員，僅有兩個二輪，其他多靠打工約進入NBA，目前還沒一個UAB球員能在NBA打超過兩季。

但至少，在UAB的Lendeborg，可以用正規的數據檢視了，2024-25球季，他寫下17.7分11.4籃板4.2助攻1.7抄截1.8火鍋這非常全面的成績，成為NCAA第一級比賽史上唯二單季600分400籃板150助攻的球員，另一個是傳奇球星Larry Bird，因而被多個媒體視為NCAA轉會球員第一名。

Lendeborg用了5年時間，終於讓自己進入NBA球探的視野。



跨越層級的變身能力，是最強背書

如果Lendborg投入2025年選秀會，也有機率在首輪被選（當時預測落點是首輪末到二輪初），但在金錢的誘因下，他選擇轉去密西根，最終密西根支付給Lendeborg的NIL和收入分成大約在500萬美元。

在談論Lendeborg的球場能力前，必須先嚴肅看待一個問題：他所實現的階級變遷，本身已經超過了正常的期待值。

從NJCAA到UAB、再從UAB到密西根，每個舞台的跨度並不小，NCAA第一級強校人才會聚，所屬聯盟競爭強度也高，比如另一個2025年夏天的轉會球員，Peja Stojakovic之子Andrej Stojakovic，去往伊利諾後連先發都站不穩，家學淵源的三分球，命中率不到0.25，每場只能投進不到1顆。

而Lendeborg不管在哪個層級，哪怕球隊招募他時，只期望他能補上某種功能，他都能馬上適應，並成為那個層級的球星。

在密西根，他的球權自然無法和UAB時相比，打禁區沒優勢的問題也浮現，但我們看看他又做到了哪些事：首先他把原本算不上武器的三分球，質和量都大幅提升，甚至在出手模式上都能做到持球後的pull up，而非單純的Catch & Shot。

然後他位置越打越外面，效率卻越打越高，eFG%突破6成（在UAB時不到0.55），罰球命中率也提高到0.824。

更重要的，他表面上助攻次數比UAB時少了些，但傳球模式和成功率令人驚嘆，有許多自己搶下籃板後的四分衛長傳，失誤壓低到1.1次，大約是UAB時期的一半，助攻失誤比高達3。



Lendeborg在球場上的影響力

當代最強球員Nikola Jokic曾經說過，自己的傳球技術，是建立在少年時想讓隊友也玩得開心，而想盡辦法傳給他們。

Lendeborg的想法也如出一轍，他總是優先關注隊友，只要有人往前跑，再遠的距離，他也會想辦法把球送過去，而當隊友持球時，他也很樂意擔任接獲隊友傳球的那個人，所以會用各種手段把球打進籃框。

到了今日，已沒有太多人會去懷疑Lendeborg的進攻天賦，這也是他的評價始終維持在2026選秀超大年樂透區，和那些19、20歲的年輕天才並列的主要原因。

而他有沒有這麼好的分歧，則圍繞在幾件事情上面：到底是全能還是沒有強項？能守多個位置卻沒明確定位的防守價值高或低？進步明顯的投射能否看成武器？最重要的，他的年紀是否代表了此時已是天花板？

r/NBA_Draft

Yaxel Lendeborg will be a top 10 player with a false ceiling this draft when we look back. He has an often discussed outlier older age, but he also has 2 additional positive outlier traits (growth trajectory relative to experience and wingspan) that make him not your typical older prospect.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NBA_Draft/comments/1t227nd/yaxel_lendeborg_will_be_a_top_10_player_with_a/

Growth Trajectory Relative to Experience: Yaxel started playing organized basketball at 17 years old as a senior in high school. He had tried out previously but was either cut or declared academically ineligible. After he graduated high school, he worked at a warehouse on the assembly line, so by the time he entered junior college, he had logged more hours on the assembly line than he had playing organized basketball. This is not the normal trajectory of any basketball player who attended an American high school that I’m aware of since Dennis Rodman 40 years ago, who worked as a janitor after high school.

This is very similar to Pascal Siakam, who did not start playing organized basketball until he was around 16. Just like Yaxel, Pascal came from a basketball family. His 3 older brothers all played D1 basketball, so Pascal got plenty of playground exposure but no real organized basketball exposure. As a result, once he took basketball seriously, his growth trajectory was way steeper than your average prospect. He continued that even when he got to the NBA, as he kept on adding skill after skill at an age where most prospects stall. Pascal was chosen as a 22 year old in the late first, which is exactly where Yaxel would have been chosen at the same age of 22 had he not come back due to NIL, which did not exist when Pascal played. Pascal, who went to a mid major himself in New Mexico State like Yaxel went to UAB, would have actually taken the same path today with that extra year in college like Yaxel did.

In the history of the draft, very few older prospects succeed. However, if you are an older prospect, the success rate is higher the worse you were as an 18 year old. This makes sense once you understand the importance of growth trajectory. Some of the best older prospects who succeeded include Dennis Rodman, Dikembe Mutombo, Mark Eaton, Derrick White, Jimmy Butler, Pascal Siakam, Damian Lillard, and others who started off as nobodies when they first entered college, just like Yaxel, who was averaging a single single while being around 55 percent from the FT line as a freshman in junior college. This is why teams also like Bennett Stirtz, another older prospect who started off in D2, with an incredible growth trajectory. Now, there have been some bad outcomes like Dalton Knecht and Chris Duarte, who also started off pretty low, but the point is, if you want some false ceiling prospect as an older player, Yaxel fits the profile. This is even more true today due to the fact that most younger players declare early so if you are an older player, you have to have some unique background story.

在無人注意的情況下，我推的Wagler已經將佢係ncaa的 3分 & draw foul 技能包無縫轉換上黎nba
仲要係打緊後備的情況的數據，靈王的地毯如果入廠，黎緊佢應該有正選打
現階段籃底上籃對抗性不足暫時係廢既，但球員本身唔害怕肢體對抗



模板：sga的身型&丐幫弟子、 hali的超遠3分、哈登的捉節奏差、加速急煞
個人目標：本屆guard位最佳、3分版本的sga、mvp



I did not clock that the defender that was drawn away from the rim and passed around by teenaged/unathletic/too skinny Keaton Wagler was Walker Kessler.

If Keaton can already manipulate a 7’2 $30m defensive center with a bump like this, he’s likely a star.
