CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- For four months, Quinten Post sat and patiently waited for his moment. He wore team-issued sweatpants and walked with a large boot attached to his lower leg. He drew attention mostly as he stood on the outside of a team huddle, though the cameras occasionally panned to him whenever a broadcast needed to use a particular storyline. He was a topic of conversation, but the analysts on television only spoke about him as the missing link to a team that had adapted to playing without a true center or big man in the middle.
