Yaxel Lendeborg's impact on the Warriors will extend well beyond the floor...

Could the 11th overall pick finally be the piece that pushes Golden State into an all-in move around Stephen Curry? 🤔⬇

The Warriors have won their first game of the season behind a huge performance from rookie Yaxel Lendeborg 🔥🔥⬇️

Yaxel Lendeborg proved his hot summer league shooting was no fluke against the Suns, but it wasn't enough to keep the Warriors from a third-straight loss to start the season 😬⬇

The Warriors led by 12 with less than four minutes left...

They then proceeded to give up a 17-0 run 🥺😳⬇

The Lakers revamped their team during the offseason, highlighted by acquiring Walker Kessler 💰

The Warriors, in contrast, remained stagnant 😬

The results showed themselves in Wednesday's season opener between the two teams...

The Warriors are exploring Kristaps Porzingis trades amid his ongoing health battle, but the veteran center may not be the only player that has to be moved in the coming weeks 👀🤔⬇

With opening night approaching, the Warriors are looking for growth from Podziemski and a healthier Melton. But familiar turnover issues and defensive concerns remain.

A recap of my week at @BlueManHoop:

[Blue Man Hoop @BlueManHoop]

The Warriors showed interest in Walter Clayton Jr. before last year's NBA Draft 🤔

Now they could get the former 18th overall pick for FREE 🤯⬇

Brandin Podziemski put together another solid performance against the Lakers tonight, finishing with 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, five rebounds, two assists, and just one turnover in 26 minutes.

He's looked a lot like the version of himself that averaged over 18 points per game, shot more threes, and drove to the basket more over the last two months of last season. The version Steve Kerr wants him to be every night.

I wrote yesterday about the new norm this late-season surge set for Podziemski, one he's aiming to sustain:

After three rough outings to start his preseason, Melton found some efficiency against the Lakers tonight, going 3-for-6 from the field along with three assists and SEVEN steals. He was a +11 in 21 minutes off the bench.

I wrote earlier today about his struggles with efficiency last season, his health, and the many roles he can fill for the Warriors:

[Blue Man Hoop @BlueManHoop]

The Warriors and even Kristaps Porzingis himself tried to provide an update over his status on Wednesday...

The reality is that it only leaves more questions surrounding the veteran center and his availability going forward 🤔⬇

[Blue Man Hoop @BlueManHoop]

The final scoreboard will say the Warriors only gave up 89 points and forced 29 Lakers turnovers on Tuesday night...

But an explosive first half from Austin Reaves points to a concern for Golden State just ahead of their season opener next week 😬⬇

Brandon Williams is already proving an offensive spark plug for the Warriors and the kind of dynamic reserve guard they haven't had since Jordan Poole, writes @nicklsanmiguel 🔥⬇️

[NateOnGoldenState @NateOnDubs]

After putting up two unimpressive performances in their preseason opener on Sunday, Lendeborg and Podziemski bounced back in the Warriors wire-to-wire win against the shorthanded Lakers.

The two young players will play a meaningful role in taking some of the offensive burden off Steph Curry's shoulders until Butler is back. On Tuesday night, they showed they could do just that. #DubNation

My latest for @BlueManHoop:

[Blue Man Hoop @BlueManHoop]

Kristaps Porzingis is dealing with a health issue and now Al Horford has a very minor knee concern 🤕

It's suddenly elevated the importance of Charles Bassey after the 26-year-old was re-signed during the offseason ⬇

A new and smaller starting lineup brought an explosive Warrior offense in the first-half against the Lakers on Tuesday night 🔥⬇

Al Horford's move to the bench on Tuesday night against the Lakers reveals the Warriors' likely starting lineup come opening night 👀⬇
