Warriors star Jimmy Butler gave his honest opinion on rookie Yaxel Lendeborg, whom the team drafted Tuesday with the No. 11 overall pick in the NBA draft.
“I know that guy be speaking his mind. I like that,” Butler said to reporters at Thursday’s media session. “I respect that. I’ve seen him play. One of my really good friends, Mike Smith, did a year at Michigan. I played with some Michigan cats. I think he’s going to be very good.
“He plays tough. He is tough. He’s going to come in and be able to help right away. He’s going to fit in. He’s got the mold to do everything and do everything well. I think he’s going to come in and help and be very comfortable.”
