"When Quinten Post watches film of his rookie season, he does not revel in his 73 made 3-pointers or his 148 rebounds grabbed. The second-year sharpshooting big from Boston College by way of the Netherlands instead sees the myriad ways he needs to improve, a detailed map for the work he has since done with Warriors assistant coaches Seth Cooper and Everett Dayton."
"The 7-footer was a revelation as a second-round rookie last season, working his way up from the G League and eventually starting 14 games. Post averaged 8.1 points per game and made 40.8% of his 3-pointers. He had to miss Summer League with an ankle injury, but said that now in the rear-view mirror. I got cleared pretty soon after Summer League, so I'm back on the court, said Post, who has been working out at Chase Center five times a week."
"A big part for next year is guarding without fouling, Post said. I fouled too much, especially in situations where it wasn't necessary, where I could just use my size to wall up and make guys take hard shots. Post had nine games in the regular season with at least four fouls, and three nights in the first round series against Houston when he committed four or more infractions."
Quinten Post reviews film from his rookie season and identifies specific areas for improvement. He spent the summer working with Warriors assistants Seth Cooper and Everett Dayton on strength, agility and defensive technique. Post recovered fully from an ankle injury that forced him to miss Summer League and has been practicing five times weekly at Chase Center. The 7-footer averaged 8.1 points, made 40.8% of his 3s, started 14 games and rose from the G League. He emphasizes cutting down on unnecessary fouls by using size to contest shots. He could earn more minutes or a starting role next season.
