The Story in 60 Seconds

Peter O'Keefe of Blue Man Hoop argues that Quinten Post's strong start with the Memphis Grizzlies is compounding the Golden State Warriors' frontcourt issues amid Kristaps Porzingis' continued absence. Memphis signed Post to a three-year, $30 million contract as a restricted free agent after the Warriors were unable to match due to second-apron salary constraints. The Grizzlies opened the season with a 5-0 record, including a comeback victory over Golden State.

Post is averaging 7.6 points while shooting over 60% from the floor and 41.7% from three-point range. O'Keefe highlights that with Porzingis entirely away from the team and facing an uncertain basketball future, Golden State is lacking depth behind small-ball center Draymond Green, particularly with head coach Steve Kerr showing limited trust in Charles Bassey and Graham Ike.
