Quinten Post

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

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. )

Bogut is listed as having a 27 inch standing vertical with a maximum 33.5” vertical leap.. Post is listed as having a 24 inch standing vertical and a 27” maximum vertical. There is some question as to whether or not Post was injured at the measurement combine. 6 inches is a big difference. I guess maximum vertical is with a wind up where as standing vertical has no wind up.

Post is listed as having a 9’ 4” wingspan. Bogut was listed as having a 7’ 3” wingspan.

Surprised who much more wingspan Post has than Bogut. Arm length and chest width shoulder to shoulder.
Long arms are good because hands move faster than the body does.

Guessing wildly I am expecting Post to be half way in between non-shot blocking Looney and good shot blocking Bogut at shot blocking.

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.

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?

At age 28 the player is all he will ever be. No upside potential to be enticed by.

Pretending that 6 games of 4 minutes a game can meaningfully translate into 36 minute per game stats Spencer’s 6 rebounds and 7 assists per 36 minutes per game are impressive. Spencer’s 5 points per 36 minutes suggests a complete non-scorer. He is a white (probably not blazing fast because he is white) college LaCrosse star (when a lacrosse player reinvents himself as a basketball player he is probably a superior athlete).


Spencer was hitting 3s at 40% in g-league but not a high scorer per minute and only playing 14 minutes per game.

28 year guy with limited NBA experience needs to fill a role well that nobody else on the roster does as well.
What is Spencer’s speciality?

I think Spencer is probably a camp body not a NBA prospect.

My issue with Moody is that Moody has no specialty. Wingspan was Moody’s selling point but wingspan needs to go along with speed, good defensive technique, high motor and good defensive aggressiveness for long wingspan to produce a very good defender.

Hating Klay’s defense does not mean that Moody is a very good defender. Moody’s offense is not particularly good so Moody needs to be a very good defender to get NBA minutes. The time for counting on Moody improving is over. Moody is Not a bad guy to have on your bench because he is versatile which makes him a good injury replacement player but Moody is not very good at anything. Moody is a good defender but not a very good defender.

Plus Moody is consistently good in postseason.

Unfortunately they won’t be able to use that unless they make the postseason.

Barring injuries the Warriors will make the post season.

Moody did not wilt in post season but I am not sure that Moody was actually good at Post season or just OK at post season.

Is Post good enough on D to be a decent to good NBA player for some time?

Too early to tell.

I hope so, he seems like a good guy.

Whatever. You have always been anti-Moody, it would seem in agreement with Kerr.

I don’t know good Moody could be, but what they shouldn’t do imo is play scrubs who don’t even have what you reluctantly acknowledge as attributes possessed by Moody ahead of him, which Kerr does repeatedly.

Start Post

[Jester_]

does he remind anyone else of memo okur?

[jaymo123]

Just watched highlights from last night, Post has a good shot and played some sound basketball. The Dubs have needed a stretch big for years and maybe they found a guy.

[B-King]

Is Post good enough on D to be a decent to good NBA player for some time?

Too early to tell.

We need more thugs on the team. Someone that will jack an opponent and not a team mate.

Post needs to hit the weight room. Not sure how well he will hold up against bullish bigs.

[NeoWarriors]

He certainly wasn't shy about flinging threes. I mean they were open shots mostly. Can't complain about 5 for 10. And I even thought his defense wasn't that bad.

[Twinkie defense]

Should give him a chance to play alongside Draymond - in theory that is pretty much the perfect Warriors frontcourt.

[Twinkie defense]

Warriors bought the pick that Post fell to - shows again the smart moves MDJ has been making with less than premium picks.

[DutchManDanFan]

So at last a Dutch guy might have some time in the NBA again. But if he can ball I'd rather see him with the Bucks. How about this trade with some random fillers:
Post + Steph + Dray for Portis + Dame + Middleton.

On a serious note: Steph and Giannis together has to happen sometime, but it has to be with the Bucks because they still have a decent chance to win in Giannis' prime. For Steph it's a great chance to have another shot at a title. I guess most of you would be okay with that. With Dame, Khris and Portis you can compete in the 1st round, but you should also be able to get all kind of picks for them if you want to start the rebuild.

Ha!

I doubt you will find many Warriors fans okay with that.

Why does it have to be with the Bucks? Warriors have more value to offer for Giannis than the Bucks have to offer for Curry. The Warriors are a better team adding Giannis than the Bucks are adding Curry. Warriors have better depth and young talent. Warriors are a better team minus Curry than the Bucks are minus Giannis.

I just don’t think they would fix us.

I will take Ryan Rollins back.

The Bucks have a chance to win with the current roster. So the Bucks won't trade Gannis. That's why.
Do you think the Warriors can win another title with Steph? If not would you do him a favor for all those great years to have a real chance for another ring?

I do think the Warriors can win another trophy with Steph. I think Kuminga is a future All-Star and the team's current struggles are entirely due to his absence. If Post is about to arrive it puts us in an even better situation as a shooting big like Post is the perfect center next to all of Curry, Dray and Kuminga.
