The Warriors are 2.13 meters tall and the big center is 0-pointer with 3 shots! Why does Cole still like to use Post?

For young players with low picks, being able to go to the Warriors is a good choice. Why do you say this? This is because Warriors head coach Cole has always been unconventional in employing people. As long as you have characteristics and have a skill, he will dare to use you and be willing to give you a chance. Like Thibodeau, he likes to prove himself with veterans! Cole's arrangements are very bold and often unexpected. Under his coaching, Quinten Post also gained many opportunities.

Who is Kunten-Post? Can play in the Warriors with a lot of talent! What are his technical advantages and disadvantages?

Post is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 111KG. He participated in the draft in 2024 and was finally selected by the Warriors with the 22nd pick in the second round.

In fact, it is normal to have a position in the NBA. For example, the Rockets' Tae-Washington, Christopher, and Garuba are all first-round picks. How are they doing now? Moreover, the 2024th class is a well-known New Year of the Draft, and Post was not talented enough and his strength was not outstanding enough, so he almost lost the election.

But being selected by the Warriors is a blessing for him. Cole doesn't care how low your ranking or how mediocre your talent is. He has never paid attention to these things, and he is willing to use newcomers.

Post played 42 games with the Warriors in his rookie season, 14 of which were played as a starter. Ordinary people can brag about it for several days if they can show up in the Warriors, which is extremely popular in the big ball market. Post is even more lucky. Not only did he show his face, he also started, which shows Cole's trust and love for him. Post averaged 16.3 minutes per game this season, averaged 6.5 shots, hit 2.9 goals, scored 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He shot 44.9% from the field, 40.8% from three-point shooting percentage, and 77.8% from free throws.

In the critical playoffs, Cole continued to trust Post and gave him playing time!

Today Post played for 12.3 minutes, made 0 of 3 shots, scored 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 fouls, plus or minus value +4. But don’t think that 12.3 minutes of playing time is very little, and it’s not worth mentioning! You should know that you must compete in every game in the playoffs, and the error tolerance rate is very low. How do you use the rookie like the head coach of the Rockets Uduka? Shepard, who is the Rockets Tanhualang, has no playing time for a second today. Let’s look at his own team, Kumingga, has top talent and has not received playing time today. The Warriors veteran Rooney, who is in the same position as Post, only played for 8.5 minutes. Compared to this, you can tell how lucky Post is.

Why does Cole like to use Post? Rooney has more playing time than experience and has more tacit understanding with the team?

In the view of Sajia, there are several reasons:

1. Post has a three-point range! Can open up space. This season, he averaged 4.3 three-pointers per game, shot 1.7 goals, and had a 40.8% three-point shooting percentage. Space-type insiders are very scarce in the NBA and very popular. He can better open up the offensive space on the court, and it will be easier for Butler and Curry to attack the inside. This is something Rooney doesn't have!

2.Young! Fist is afraid of being young and strong, Rooney is also old and is about to reach 30 years old. Rooney also suffered severe injuries. As he grew older, his athletic ability declined, and his offense and defense also declined to a certain extent. Post is only 24 years old this year, and he is the age of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He is younger and more energetic. The Rockets have a group of powerful forwards, and they want young people to go up and fight.

3. Post has a very good height size! The Warriors have always lacked large centers. Post has a good tonnage of 2.13 meters. Rooney is only 2.06 meters tall, and Zhumeng Green is only 1.98 meters tall. After all, basketball is a sport that is long and strong! The taller you grow and closer to the basket, the easier it is to shoot, the more favorable it is to defend, and the easier it is to grab rebounds.

For these reasons, Cole is willing to give Post a chance.

Post was still a little nervous in the first game of his career playoffs, missed all his shots, failed to seize the offensive opportunity, and did not score. I hope he can adjust his form in the next game, play at his normal level, and help the Warriors.
