The Warriors entered the 2024 NBA Draft with the No. 52 overall pick.
No. 52 pick: Quinten Post
Post was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands and won the 2017-18 Dutch National U18 Championship as the team’s starting center. In 2018-19, he played for the Alba Berlin Youth Club in Germany. Following that campaign, he moved to the United States, playing his freshman and sophomore years at Mississippi State. As a sophomore, he was a regular rotation player, but saw just 8.7 minutes per game. He transferred to Boston College in 2021-22 for his junior year and made some waves, earning an ACC All-Tournament Second Team nod.
As a senior, Post started 14 of 19 appearances and was named the ACC Most Improved Player after posting 15.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25.9 minutes with 35 starts. He was once again named to the ACC All-Tournament Second Team, but also added ACC All-Second Team and ACC All-Defensive Team honors. He averaged 17.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 blocks in 31.9 minutes.
Post is a traditionally sized center with three-and-D upside. Over his past two seasons at BC, he went 73-for-170 (43%) from distance. That translated to the free-throw line, where he shot 144-for-173 (83%). On the block, he uses his size and strength to make basic hook shots and drop steps. However, his limited athleticism doesn’t make him a top-shelf lob threat. It also doesn’t help on defense, where he struggles outside of the paint. Post, for his size, is also simply an adequate rebounder. — RotoWire. Go deeper.
