Yaxel Lendeborg 2025 NBA Draft Combine Issued Jersey

This NBA Draft Combine jersey was issued to Yaxel Lendeborg on May 13, 2025 in Chicago, at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

With a 6’9”, 240 lbs frame and a 7’3.25” wingspan, Yaxel Lendeborg packs elite size, length, and physicality into a modern frontcourt profile—able to rebound, defend multiple positions, and dominate inside.

Lendeborg played two seasons at UAB after a standout JUCO career. Over 72 career games (68 starts) in college, he averaged 15.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game, shooting 51.8% overall, 34.9% from three, and 77.8% from the free-throw line.

He delivered consistently:

• 2023–24: 13.8 PPG, 10.6 RPG, 2.1 APG, 2.1 BPG, earning AAC Defensive Player of the Year, Conference Tournament MVP, and First-Team All-AAC honors.
• 2024–25: 17.7 PPG, 11.4 RPG, 4.2 APG, 1.8 BPG, again earning AAC Defensive Player of the Year and First-Team All-AAC honors.

Lendeborg set UAB and conference records—420 rebounds in a season, 45 career double‑doubles, and became one of only two Division I players in history with 600+ points, 400+ rebounds, and 150+ assists in a season.

Scouts describe him as a versatile, lob-ready forward with NBA upside. Blending rare physical tools, production, and defensive instincts, Lendeborg profiles as a high-upside frontcourt piece—with draft buzz growing—who can impact on both ends of the floor.
