With veteran center Al Horford giving him the perfect role model, and also the ability to still play heavy rotation minutes, second-year center Quinten Post has a dream opportunity to further his stature with the Golden State Warriors this season.
However, Post also faces a brutal reality if he can't seize the opportunity, with the seven-footer now facing serious pressure to step up after confirmed news of Horford's role in recent days.
The Warriors desperately need Quinten Post to perform this season
Steve Kerr confirmed last week that Horford will be limited to around 20 minutes per game this season, while also reiterating on Monday that the 39-year-old will not be playing both nights of back-to-backs -- having not done so for three years anyway.
