Throughout the offseason, Golden State Warriors fans had been worried about the state of their team, without a true No. 2 option to support Stephen Curry. However, 10 games into the 2026-27 season with Golden State in the midst of a seven-game winning streak, supporters have started to change their tune.This is in large part due to Yaxel Lendeborg, who has blown initial expectations out of the water. Through 10 games, the recent NCAA champion is averaging 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, four assists, one steal and 0.8 blocks. Paired with former two-time MVP Stephen Curry, the two have become a dynamic duo to say the least.
Of pairs to play at least five games together, Curry and Lendeborg are third in the NBA in points per game (52.5), trailing only two duos from the Los Angeles Lakers (Luka Doncic/Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic/Walker Kessler), as Luka Doncic is averaging a whopping 40.1 points per game to begin the season.
