To hear local media, and the Warriors themselves, tell it, the answer to the team’s struggles this season was right in front of them all along in the form of 24-year-old rookie Quinten Post.
Emerging from the depths of Steve Kerr’s rotation, Post dropped 20 points in 20 minutes on 7-of-12 shooting during the Dubs’ 131-106 win against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Dropping that kind of stat line in your sixth-ever NBA game as a second-round pick is impressive on its own, but Post scored most of his points from beyond the arc, shooting 5-of-10 from three — the irony of his last name is not lost on anyone.
