Quinten Post didn’t enter last season with hype. No lottery buzz, no spotlight, barely even a plan. He was a 7-footer buried on the depth chart, a desperation floor-spacer for a team starving for shooting.
When the Golden State Warriors called his number, Post stepped in and made history.
40.8% from three on 179 attempts.
At that size? As a rookie?
Only Keegan Murray and Jayson Tatum have ever done it.
Post became one of the most efficient stretch bigs the league has ever seen in Year 1, and nobody saw it coming.
Now, with a bigger role on the line and vets like Al Horford potentially entering the mix, Post faces his next test: defense.
The Warriors shielded him last year, but flashes of verticality, smart rotations, and P&R reads suggest there’s more in the tank.
If the defense catches up, Golden State won’t just have found a usable big.
They’ll have a rare jewel; a modern, floor-stretching giant built for the next era of Warriors basketball.
