Warriors rookie Yaxel Londonburg recorded 31 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists on October 26, 2026, becoming the third Warriors rookie ever to post that stat line, after Rick Barry and Wilt Chamberlain. The discussion has moved to his Rookie of the Year standing, where he is tied for second at +350 behind Cameron Boozer at +220. A second thread has opened around Lendeborg, who is averaging 22 points and nine rebounds through four games and has shot over 12 free throws twice. Most recently, coverage notes Lindenberg is the first Warriors rookie with 100-plus points in his first five games since Wilt Chamberlain in 1959-60.
