The Warriors need shooters. They picked up two Thursday.
Golden State Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. speaks during a press conference at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, June 19, 2023. The Golden State Warriors announced today that Mike Dunleavy Jr. will be replacing Bob Myers as the general manager. Because when the Warriors selected Boston College center Quinten Post on Thursday afternoon, I had no idea that the Warriors did, in fact, acquire him.
Can he play defense? Not really. He lacks NBA athleticism, posting the lowest vertical leap at the combine . He’s going to struggle against the pick-and-roll — it’s not an issue of being off-balance or surprised, it’s simply an issue of physical ability. And at 25 years old, there’s little reason to think it’s going to get much better.
With the additions of Post and Waters , the Warriors have two players who will not have an issue shooting from distance. It’s a nice change.
