Her'es 3 1/2 hours of Quinten Post video (no doubt from Synergy):

My initial impression is that Smiley would destroy him.

Can we undraft a player?

Can we undraft a player?

So, not sign the player that the Warriors reacquire the draft rights from Portland.

[giberish]

Kyle Anderson could be our starting center by mid-season, if not sooner.

Kyle Anderson frees Draymond up to play more center but I don’t think Anderson will play center.

I see the center position as 20 mpg for TJD - likely the starter, 20 mpg for Anderson and 8 mpg for Draymond. I'd expect Anderson to be a clear bench player though as they'll want his frontcourt playmaking when Draymond is on the bench. Maybe Looney bounces back but he looked to be fading noticeably last year.

post being signed to a two way contract

Is that confirmed?

That's all they can do unless they shed salary.

It does make sense, but they also can't do that without releasing someone, right? Haven't we already signed Beekman, Plowden, and Spencer to two way deals? So if Post is coming in, one of them is going away?

The odd man out has to be Beekman right? They shut him down after only two games. No report on him being injured. You would think they would be giving him more run to evaluate. It's either him or Spencer.

Beekman was supposedly working through something. So some type of injury. But it wasn't widely reported. It was something in passing that I read through.

I think it's more likely that there's a trade that opens up a roster spot or 2.

But currently there's no way to roster Post at all, unless we waive Gui or drop one of the other 2 way players (Beekman, Spencer, Plowden). I doubt the Warriors would waive Beekman and Plowden. You don't sign someone as a udfa and give them a 2 way and then waive them a few months after unless you're trying to ruin your relationship with that agent/agency, that's not how we've operated at all.

If they like Post enough, Spencer seems kind of obvious. I know he's done OK in summer league, but at age 28 do they really still think he'll develop into an NBA player?

[EvanZ]

I don't think Spencer or Beekman are likely NBA players tbh.

My first impression of Post is he can’t set a screen for **** and was pretty soft on his dribble drive (don’t understand why a 7 footer is laying the ball up). Good shooting stroke and moves pretty well for his size though.

He has quicker feet than I thought he would but the guy is not a leaper, don't expect him to be a lob threat or a rim protector, strictly a stretch 5.

biggest issue is that he's not very physical yet ...

[TB]

Watching him play, then double checking some statistical comparisons, and the obvious comp is still Muscala. Physically he's pretty slow and awkward, sort of like Muscala combined with Robin Lopez in terms of how he moves around. But his play style is definitely like Muscala. Plays smart, plays with effort, has skill, willing passer, can shoot it.

If he can have a role/career like Muscala, that's a good 2nd round pick. But he's also a little taller and potentially a better shooter, so there is some upside at being a better version of Muscala.

Beekman may be next year’s replacement for Melton who will be looking for a bigger Beekman is supposed to have very good raw skills for defending point guards. Beekmsn supposedly needs to improve his experience and his shooting but if successful at improving is potentially a starting quality point guard. Aging Curry can move to off guard

Bogut also was not a leaper but 7’ footers with a shot blocking mindset can block shots.

I am not projecting Post to be a 2.25 blocks per 36 minute guy but I am projecting Post to be able to block 1.5 shots per 36 minutes which is better than Looney can do at shot blocking but Looney is very good at everything except shot blocking and scoring.

Post is our young inexperienced slightly less slow 2 inch taller replacement for Saric.

Bro Beekman is unlikely to ever be an NBA rotation player let alone the guy who moves Curry to "off guard".

[floppymoose]

Bogut had a 33.5" max vert. Quintin's is 27". Those are very different animals re shotblocking.

For reference, I was a 6'3" non athlete and had a 25" vert. (I'm estimating - it was never measured. But I had an 8' vert reach and could touch the rim with both hands on a jump. Never could dunk though. )

I kinda recall Bogut as a pretty good leaper in his earlier years with us.

[DAWill1128]

The peak of the defense was when we had Bogut-Ezili as two really strong 7 foot guys with 7-6 wingspans we could funnel the dribbler into. We used to guard tight on the perimeter and just funnel the ball into those guys. West knew what he was talking about grabbing those two guys.

I think he has a chance to be a positional rim protector - ala Looney. Loon never really blocked shots but he contested well and, at his best, I'd be willing to guess his OppFG% near the rim was fairly low.

Bogut had great timing. Bogut knew how to position his body to block without fouling. Bogut was always watching for shot blocking opportunities where focussing on the rebounds reduces blocks.

Bogut hat high block per minute stats but I do not think Bogut was ever a good leaper; just tall with good shot blacking technique.
