Yaxel Lendeborg Dazzles as Warriors Rout Lakers in California Classic
Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg was flawless in his summer-league debut, pouring in 19 points on a perfect 6-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from three. He added five rebounds and six assists as Golden State routed the Lakers 104-72 in the California Classic. The No. 11 pick in June's draft, Lendeborg is an older, NBA-ready rookie at 23, a two-way forward who won a national title at Michigan while averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. For fantasy, keep the excitement measured. Summer league is a tiny sample against thin competition, and Lendeborg lands on a veteran, win-now roster built around Stephen Curry, one chasing even more star power this summer, so rookie minutes come at a premium. The takeaway is a dynasty one: he's a versatile, high-floor stash to monitor. In redraft, be patient until the role is real.

Andrew Nembhard Backs Up SGA With 23 for Canada
Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard backed up Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 23 points, four rebounds, and four assists in Canada's 110-84 rout of Puerto Rico in the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. It capped a strong showing for a player coming off the best season of his career. With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined all of 2025-26, Nembhard slid into the lead-guard role and posted career highs of 16.9 points and 7.7 assists over 57 games. Here's the fantasy catch, though: that breakout was largely a product of opportunity. Haliburton is expected back next season, which reclaims the primary ball-handling duties and shrinks Nembhard toward the secondary role he filled before, when he averaged closer to 10.0 points and 5.0 assists. There may be an early-season window while Haliburton ramps up from the Achilles, but don't pay 2025-26 prices. His value fades the moment the offense runs back through Haliburton.

VJ Edgecombe Fills the Stat Sheet in Bahamas Rout of Jamaica
Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe stuffed the stat sheet with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 steals to lead his native Bahamas to a 123-74 rout of Jamaica in the 2027 FIBA World Cup Americas qualifiers. The 20-year-old shot 10-of-16 from the field and 6-of-11 from deep, with veteran sharpshooter and mentor Buddy Hield chipping in 15 points alongside him. For fantasy, Edgecombe is the young riser worth circling. He's coming off a sensational rookie year, 16.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over 75 games with a historic 34-point debut, and this line shows the same multi-category punch that makes him a real Year 2 breakout candidate. The steals are the sweetener: he's a genuine source in a scarce category. The one caveat is usage, as the newly acquired Jaylen Brown joins Tyrese Maxey in the pecking order for touches. Even so, target Edgecombe as a rising mid-round guard with league-winning upside.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores 26 Points in Canada Qualifier Win
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 26 points in 26 minutes to lead Canada to a 110-84 rout of Puerto Rico in the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers, with "M-V-P!" chants raining down in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario. The back-to-back NBA MVP was ruthlessly efficient, going 9-of-14 from the field and 7-of-8 at the line while adding 4 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. For fantasy, the box score is a tidy snapshot of why he's a cornerstone. His value isn't in any single category; it's the blend of high-volume scoring, elite free-throw production, steals, and assists, and it travels across rule sets, as Friday showed. That breadth is what makes him a true build-around: draft him among the very first names off the board, then construct the rest of your roster around the categories he already locks up for you.
