Quinten Post has written an inspiring story of his own for the Golden State Warriors this season.

In the midst of the Warriors’ multiple concerns from injuries, struggles, and inconsistencies, the 24-year-old emerged as a low-key bright spot for the franchise.

Chosen by the Golden State Warriors for the 52nd overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, Post worked away in the G League at first to earn minutes on the roster. And just last week, the team rewarded him with a well-deserved standard contract for his impressive play.

Stephen Curry applauds new Dubs rising sensation in Quinten Post

Stephen Curry stands as one of the key witnesses on how Post carved his own way of making it into the NBA on a full-time basis.

Curry mainly served as the driving force of the Warriors all year long and he has seen the rookie center go through his development in several critical moments of the team’s season.

In his media availability during the 2025 All-Star Weekend in San Francisco, he made it sure to send his flowers to Post for a job well done in becoming a part of Golden State’s plans for the rest of 2024-25.

“He’s a great teammate. He’s taking full advantage of his opportunity,” Curry said about Post.

“He spent a lot of time in the G League early and was getting a lot of reps, getting better every single day, trying to figure out how he could be prepared for when his time came to try to crack to our rotation, and he’s done that.

“He’s super confident. He sees the game really well. He’s a high- IQ player, and obviously he can shoot.”

Curry likes Post’s confidence, shooting that helps the Warriors win

After nailing the Jimmy Butler sweepstakes, their contract conversion for Post served as another positve for the Warriors after the February 6 trade deadline.

The numbers certainly don’t lie with regards to Post’s reliability. In 17 games played wearing a Warriors uniform, in which seven came as an unlikely starter, he tallied an average of 7.5 points, 3.3 boards, and 1.6 assists.

He also showed capabilities to stretch the floor as a center, tallying 39.7 percent efficiency from downtown.

The Dutch big man flashed the best NBA game of his career last week to help the Dubs’ 132-111 win over the Chicago Bulls, pouring 18 points and three boards while swishing four of his seven threes. He even followed it up with a 13-point performance in the team’s 125-111 victory against the Milwaukee Bucks with 13 points in 3-of-4 shooting from distance.

“His confidence and his presence is felt,” Curry added about Post. “You’ve seen a couple games he’s hit some big shots and he’s celebrating, fist pumping like he knows he belongs.

“It’s been great to kind of see him figure it out.”
