Some may view Al Horford's expected arrival at the Golden State Warriors as a lack of faith in Quinten Post, but that couldn't be further from the truth as the young center prepares for his second NBA season.
In fact, the Horford signing should grant Post a dream job during his sophomore campaign. The 25-year-old won't have to deal with the pressure of having to be a young starting center on a team looking to contend for another championship, yet he'll still see a significant role that includes a host of starting opportunities throughout the regular season.
Not signing Horford or failing to attract a starting-quality center will throw Post further into the spotlight, something he may not be ready for alongside a group of veterans in Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.
