The Golden State Warriors had a dream NBA Draft scenario play out for them on Tuesday night as Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg fell to No. 11. The Warriors, needing just about everything that Lendeborg does on the court, quickly scooped him up.
After being selected, the national champion forward had an incredibly humble reaction to being drafted, which he shared on ESPN after the selection.
"I don't deserve to be here right now. … I can't believe it."
