What happened: Lendeborg pointed to Curry's pull clearing both defenders on a slip cut in scrimmage play. Officials ruled his contest on a Curry 3 a foul, and he said he still calls it a block with friends.

Why it matters: The read is an early adjustment marker for the No. 11 pick learning to play off Curry entering 2026-27. Quick decisions off that movement decide rotation minutes for young forwards.

What to watch: Preseason scrimmages will show whether the timing carries into live lineups.
