Yaxel Lendeborg comments about Tennessee/Ament

[JRVOL11]

So back earlier in the season in November during the players era event. The crew interviewed him & asked who he would want to play, then these were his comments (start at 6:00 mark):

The man talked the smack, Nate's been challenged. Front court vs front court and it seems we have a back court thats answering the bell.
Can't wait, GO VOLS!

Very good college player who can find a place in the NBA but if he was so fantastic and highly regarded by the NBA he would have went pro years ago. NBA drafts on future potential. As a senior he should have advantages over a freshman who is still growing into his body. I hope Nate lights him up.

Yaxel is a very similar story to Knecht

Very talented guy who came out of high school, let’s call it academically challenged, and had to work their way up the junior college path.

Isn’t he the player that said Kentucky offered him like 8 million or something when he was in the portal last offseason?

If there’s ever a game for Nate to play his best, it’s tomorrow. This is it. We need everyone at their best to win tomorrow

Yes

 

[Hacksaw]

If he's a good player who thinks he's not regarded fairly by the NBA, then it only makes sense for him to say this.

 

[Flogballs]

He's very confident

Yaxel didn’t start playing basketball until late in life. He was a first round pick last year but got a big NIL bag to go to Michigan
