Yaxel Lendeborg, a top prospect in the 2025 NBA draft, has decided to withdraw his name and return for another season at Michigan. He expressed that gaining further development and maturation both on and off the court at Michigan outweighs the immediate opportunity of entering the NBA. Last season, Lendeborg excelled at UAB, achieving impressive stats and accolades, including being named Defensive Player of the Year. Despite his talent, Lendeborg chose the college path, which is uncommon for a projected first-round pick.
I feel the development and growth as a player and a person I will gain at the University of Michigan will be very beneficial.
I'd like to thank Coach May and staff... for allowing me to go through this process without any pressure.
