Michigan's top transfer commit lights up NBA Draft combine shooting drills

Dusty May's top transfer portal commit Yaxel Lendeborg is still torn between the NBA or fulfilling his commitment to the Michigan Wolverines. He has stated openly that he will go through the entire pre-draft process and the feedback he receives from NBA front offices will ultimately guide his final decision. Michigan fans have to be somewhat rooting for him to falter a bit in the pre-draft drills and scrimmages in hopes that he'll spend a year in Ann Arbor. So far that has not been the case and Yaxel has performed at an elite level that has to have May and his staff sweating a bit.

On the first day of combined shooting drills, Lendeborg finished tied for 8th with an overall shooting percentage of an astonishing 69%. This was a culmination of all of his shooting drills which included three-point range, mid-range, and painted area shots. This shows the incredible skill possessed by Yaxel and validates the reason he was rated the top overall player in the portal. It also makes Michigan fans worry that he may shoot up high enough in the pre-draft mocks that he foregoes a season with the Wolverines and takes his talents to the professional level.
