Yaxel Lendeborg: Michigan's 6'9' Wing Powering the Wolverines

Yaxel Lendeborg, Michigan's 6'9' forward, is a key player as the Wolverines prepare to face Duke, averaging 14.4 points and 7.5 rebounds.

Lendeborg, a 6‑foot‑9 forward, provides Michigan with athletic transition play and a newly improved perimeter shot, allowing the team to field three taller than 6‑foot‑9 players.

After transferring from UAB, he averaged 14.4 points and 7.5 rebounds, helped the Wolverines to a 25‑1 record, earned a spot on FOX Sports’ “GOT IT” team, and is projected as a top‑15 NBA draft pick.
