Warriors Send a Message to Quinten Post
Following Post’s move, the Warriors acknowledged the departure on social media, wishing him well in Memphis.
Post was selected by Golden State with the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft out of Boston College. In two seasons with the Warriors, he averaged 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists across 109 regular-season games. He shot 44.3% from the floor and, notably, connected on 36.4% of his attempts from beyond the arc, providing floor spacing for the team. He now joins a Grizzlies lineup that includes Zach Edey as a starter, with other young players such as Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, and more on the roster. The Grizzlies also acquired Isaiah Stewart from the Detroit Pistons via trade, creating a versatile frontcourt alongside Post.
