What coaches and players say about roles, minutes, gameplans and development.
The Warriors are running a five-out offense with more pace and quick screens.
โeverybody's running the five out, you know, you want to play with more pace, you want to quick, quick screens, quick step ups, like different things like that, keep the defense on their toes. So I think we're all trying to do that right now.โ
Horford believes Lendeborg can succeed at center in faster.
โhe definitely has the size for it and presents a lot of problems when he goes to the five for teams to keep up with him. So I think it's going to be something that we'll really be able to take advantage of with him being out there and playing with a group that plays faster... I feel like he's going to be in a position to be very successful being playing at the five.โ
Yaxel Lendeborg expected to have significant impact with aggressive offensive role.
โThe balance for a young guy who's expected to have an impact is to walk that fine line of aggressiveness, but being okay knowing you're going to make mistakes and not getting played and being able to move on to the next play.โ

Lendeborg has answered the call for nothing passive early and the focus is creating offense.
โBut we don't want anything passive. And I think he's been answering that call early. ... we want him applying pressure on both ends of the floor, but especially offensively, being able to create good offense for us and good possessions.โ
