Selected with the No. 52 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Post's ability to stretch the floor appealed to the Warriors, and after spending a few months with the G League Santa Cruz Warriors, the native of the Netherlands is getting a chance to help Golden State make an NBA playoff push.
Post is benefitting from playing next to NBA All-Star forward Draymond Green, and coach Steve Kerr recently praised the Boston College product's growth.
Post is proof that even second-round draft picks can force their way onto NBA rosters.
