History

Historical Context

In 1995 Kevin Garnett became the first player since 1975 to enter the NBA straight from high school, being taken fifth overall in the June 28 draft in Toronto and later earning 15 All-Star nods. The Warriors’ 2026 selection of high-school graduate Yaxel Lendeborg at No. 11 echoes Garnett’s path, prompting the Dallas Mavericks to reconsider their coaching staff.
