The Golden State Warriors have been dealing with inconsistencies at the center position, with Trayce Jackson-Davis failing to meet expectations in his second season. As a result, head coach Steve Kerr has had to rely on Kevon Looney in the starting lineup. However, the Warriors may have found a promising solution in rookie Quinten Post.
Post, a 7-foot center, was drafted by the Warriors with the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Despite being sidelined by a thumb injury, Post made a strong return in the G League, leading the Santa Cruz Warriors to a 126-109 victory over the Rip City Remix.
In just 20 minutes of play, Post scored 19 points and grabbed 6 rebounds, showcasing his impressive skills and potential. His performance was a testament to the Warriors’ scouting and drafting efforts, as Post is beginning to prove himself as a valuable asset to the team.
Fellow rookie Reece Beekman also had a standout game, scoring 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals. Beekman’s performance was a continuation of his impressive play in the G League, where he has been averaging 17.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.
The Warriors’ rookies are making a strong case for themselves, and it’s likely that we’ll see them contributing to the team’s success in the near future. With Post and Beekman leading the charge, the Warriors may have found the solution to their center spot woes.
As the Warriors continue to navigate the challenges of the NBA season, it’s clear that their rookies will play a crucial role in their success. With Post and Beekman making waves in the G League, Warriors fans have reason to be excited about the future of their team.
