Yaxel Lendeborg's Warriors pitch to LeBron James was right

Draymond Green may not have loved the way Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg pitched himself to LeBron James.But it turns out Lendeborg may have been right.Lendeborg essentially said earlier this summer that he's not an "average rookie," so James shouldn't be deterred by the possibility of being a teammate with him in addition to the Warriors' veteran stars.Green thought it was silly that a rookie was trying to advertise his own skills to the King.Still, Lendeborg did everything he could this month to back up his talk. He led the Warriors to the NBA Summer League championship.In every game he played, Lendeborg made it clear he's not an average rookie. He was the best player on the floor, as you'd expect for a 23-year old rookie who just won the national championship with Michigan
