He shot 40.8% from 3-point range while averaging more than four attempts from per game as a stretch center \u2014 a particularly useful player archetype next to Green.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If Post, 25, improves on his lateral quickness and toughness inside, he could have a case to start alongside Green in the frontcourt. The Warriors don\u2019t want Green to play the entire season as a full-time center, and Post\u2019s outside stroke makes it easy to plug him into a variety of lineups. Post started 14 games as a rookie, but faded to the periphery of the rotation as the playoffs went on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With Post and Santos, the Warriors have nine rostered players. That doesn\u2019t include <a href=\"https:\/\/sfstandard.com\/2025\/06\/26\/alex-toohey-warriors-draft-will-richard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alex Toohey and Will Richard,<\/a> the Warriors\u2019 second-round picks who could join the team on either two-way deals or minimum-scaled deals like Post\u2019s. Jonathan Kuminga and Taran Armstrong are restricted free agents. Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, Kevin Knox II, and Braxton Key are unrestricted free agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because the Warriors didn\u2019t extend a qualifying offer to Pat Spencer, he\u2019s also unrestricted.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Post, meanwhile, started the season with Santa Cruz before getting promoted when the Warriors desperately needed an offensive&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":26039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3140,11434,1260,62,18767,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-26038","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-golden-state-warriors","9":"tag-jonathan-kuminga","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-steve-kerr","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114770014599056431","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
