Golden State Warriors secure their future center

The Golden State Warriors continue to struggle to find a strategy to get out of the slump they are in. However, not everything is bitter in The Bay. In breaking news, they have just secured the future with center Quinten Post. The 7-foot Mississippian has done enough to earn a standard two-year agreement from management.

The contract was initially a two-way deal, with Post spending much of the season in the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors. However, Post seems to have made an impact. He should have many opportunities to show the Warriors what he can do going forward.

Post has played only 13 games with the Warriors, but his production has been impressive. He averages 7.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, and shoots an impressive 36.2% from long range. His best game this season came against the Chicago Bulls in late January, scoring 20 points with a 5 for 10 from three. Shams Charania of ESPN reported the contract update for Post, while Michael Scotto of HoopsHype initially speculated on the development earlier this year.

Post has performed exceptionally well with Santa Cruz, averaging 18.8 points per game as a starter. Interestingly, his three-point percentage is 28%, significantly lower than his NBA mark. He is also grabbing over nine rebounds per game, along with 1.1 steals and 1 block.

Three centers will compete for the starting spot in the Golden State Warriors

Post will remain with the Warriors at least until the 2025-26 season and will compete for playing time with Trace Jackson-Davis and Kevon Looney. Golden State showing confidence in Post likely means that Looney's time as a Warrior is nearing its end, and this upcoming offseason could see his departure. Post has started the last five games for the Warriors, averaging 6.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2 assists in 16.6 minutes during that span.

Jackson-Davis is in his second year with Golden State and has shown great potential but has yet to prove if he can be the number one for the Warriors. He and Post are expected to compete for playing time going forward. Post has already shown he may have a higher offensive ceiling than Jackson-Davis considering his ability to shoot from beyond the arc. It will be interesting to see how Warriors coach Steve Kerr utilizes each player in the final stretch of the season now that Post is firmly with them.
