Popular Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been criticized for not doing a great job at developing young talent in recent years. However, it appears that Kerr has learned from past mistakes and is already fully committing to Warriors' rookie Yaxel Lendeborg. Fans fearful of Kerr barely playing Lendeborg can rest easier after a new report from a Golden State insider.
ESPN's Anthony Slater revealed that Kerr is already giving a vote of confidence to Lendeborg and may even start the rookie:
"I asked him about his early conversations with Steve Kerr, and he mentioned, 'Hey, you know, Steve has a history of not playing rookies,' but basically said, you know, he's different, and Steve Kerr's already told him he might start."
Lendeborg has already received more confidence from Kerr than the players that never got to fulfill their potential in Golden State. The older age of Lendeborg as a 22 year old who spent more time in college likely impresses Kerr. Next season's roster also will see the Warriors needing new talent to step up, especially if they can't land LeBron James in free agency. Kerr is ready to give Lendeborg a fair chance to prove he can help the team win.
Lendeborg has joked multiple times about trying to change the narrative that Golden State won't play rookies. Jonathan ****** inga is the biggest reason why Kerr is judged for not being the best coach for young players to get a realistic chance at proving their worth.
