worst outcome:

Big and physical. He scores (20 PPG) and defends well. Not great off the dribble but he is a good passer. Really good post scorer.

NBA Comp: Shades of a bigger Moses Moody

Pros:

• even though he played at a mid-major, it was a pretty good mid-major, and as expected for a prospect at a smaller school, he dominated and did his part as the leader for his team. capable of large minutes and good use.

• good weight. strong and built, uses it to his advantage.

• looks to have a solid wingspan, looked fairly lengthy at times and could reach for rebounds and blocks well.

• made slight jumps from his previous year at UAB with more minutes. not crazy improvements, but a little better.

• averaged a high number of PPG.

• actually an amazing rebounder. led the country in double-doubles with rebounds, averaging 11.4. he strives on both sides of the glass, though i think he shows a ton of promise as an offensive rebounder more than anything, with him averaging 3.8 O-boards (though he could still polish himself up as an offensive rebounder).

• good FG% of 52.2%. decent shooting efficiency aswell, not crazy but still fine.

• great finisher at the rim. finishes strong and is able to create space effectively by using his body. can be crafty if he needs to be at times and just goes head on to the paint. also patient sometimes, but not consistently, so take that with a grain of salt.

• solid ball handle. not anything special but serviceable.

• overall a good defensive player. great rim protector. averaged 1.8 blocks per game this season. he does a good job of helping teammates down low and rotating in the paint and he can time his block attempts perfectly to just swat shots back to back. also pretty good at stealing the ball, averaged an impressive 1.7 steals per game. not bad at reading passes, uses his length to deflect intended assists, and also does a solid job of poking the ball out of opponents hands and forcing turnovers. not sure how good lendeborg is playing defense 1-on-1. rarely plays man and is much more of an off-ball defensive player, mostly in help. when he does play 1-on-1, he doesn't look too bad, but it's common he gets left behind on drives and that his pressure is inconsistent. still, i believe in him overall defensively, shows too much to like.

In-betweens:

• not entirely sure how he'll fit into an NBA offense due to his playstyle. he's like a point-forward whose just more ball dominant than anything. while i think he's primarily a 4, his offensive game has a lot of small 5 aspects as well and his defensive game is mostly like one of a 5. maybe he could play a lot of roles, maybe his position-less style could hurt him, don't know.

• already an older prospect being 22, but he's not that old yet. he'll be 23 later this year though... don't expect much from him other than what we see now.

• even though he seems lengthy because of his wingspan, he's just the average height for a 4. he might be an inch taller than the average for his position, but he's still relatively average. nothing wrong with this, but if he runs a small 5 he'll be noticeably below the average which is something to note (not sure if teams will run at him at 5 but it might happen).

• averaging too many turnovers, 2.2 per game. willing to not put this as a con though because of how good his assist/turnover ratio is and because of how different his play style is from the average 4, which explains why he gets more TO's than the average power forward.

• ended the season with a fairly subpar scoring efficiency.

• his overall ability to shoot the ball is definitely questionable. while he's not often shooting the ball, if he's open he's not afraid to launch a three, and he looks for his mid-range every once in a while (though his mid-range selections can be iffy). his form doesn't look bad at all, but with a low frequency of attempted shots i'm not sure if his shot is something to buy into, even if his stats aren't that bad. also ended the season with an average FT% of 75.7%. shot a lot of free throws though so for him to have that % as a 4 is worth noting, though still average for his position. indicator his shot isn't a lost cause. his 3PT% is around the average for a 4, but considering how he didn't shoot many threes throughout the season which leads to his percentage being inflated, i wouldn't fall back on it. doesn't do enough for me to put this as a con, but it's very close.

• inconsistently moves off the ball, which is a shame because he's not bad when he actually cuts and repositions, he's just not doing it with frequency.

• very willing passer and actually has a lot of potential in this aspect. does a good job of finding cutting teammates and of attracting defenses towards him on drives for dump-offs and kick-outs. averaged 4.2 assists this season which is good for a 4. still though, for the most he can just be kind of whatever as a playmaker. a lot of his looks tend to be mundane and subpar, and often does he throw uncomfortable looks to teammates, forces passes, or has slow reads.

Cons:

• fouling way too much, averaged 2.5 fouls per game. needs to work on lowering his fouls to be a more perfect defensive prospect.

GSW position: PF

Strengths: excellent rebounder, can handle the ball, can pass like a PG (a really good passer), can really trust the ball in his hands when needed to, likes to work his game in the paint first, a pretty good FT shooting for his position

Weaknesses: opponents leave him open on the 3 point line a lot, not an efficient scorer but nit bad either, 3 point shot needs some work, turnovers at times

Tier 4.5 : Bench player with some time/in the right situation

A beast from low-tier NCAA divisions who showed an ability to rebound the ball and impact the game with his feel and energy.
