Yaxel Lendeborg just won a national title with Michigan, but before that, he was a mid-major superstar at UAB.
Now, he's heading to the NBA with the Golden State Warriors as the No. 11 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. And it's worth looking back quickly.
He had one of the best games in college basketball history when playing at UAB.
During the AAC Tournament in March of 2025, Lendeborg blew everyone's minds.
That night, he:
- scored 30 points
- grabbed 20 rebounds
- dished out eight assists
- blocked five shots
- nabbed four steals
- didn't turn the ball over
- shot 9-for-16 from the floor
- made 11-for-13 from the foul line
- in a 94-77 win

Lendeborg then transferred to Michigan and proved he could play at the highest level of college basketball.
Now, he joins Steph Curry and Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, and clearly he can do it all.
