As the Golden State Warriors flirted with and eventually signed veteran center Al Horford this offseason to a multi-year contract, it quickly became clear that the team did not consider Quinten Post ready to take over the starting job full-time.
Yet, this does not mean that Post's role will be unimportant this season, and, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater, his ability to shoot the three and space the floor for the bench unit will give the team an additional dimension that could be vital for their ability to compete.
Therefore, although Post will almost certainly see a reduction in minutes this season, it could be the ideal role to allow the second-year player to develop his game and still serve as an integral piece to the rotation.
