Why Two G-Leaguers Could Change Everything For The Warriors
*Forgot my mic, sorry for the low quality!*
After another embarrassing loss, the Warriors bounced back to throttle the Bulls on a back-to-back. Despite another slow start, it was the recent addition of rookie Quinten Post as a stretch big and the ongoing evolution of Gui Santos as a shooting forward that propelled the Dubs to their best offensive showing in weeks, putting up 131 points. I want to show how Post and Santos could transform the front court offense, so let’s get to it.

IMHO, it's not scoring that's hurting the Dubs…its not keeping those 18 to 25 point leads heading into the 4th Q…..and then ultimately losing the game!!!
Ya some change that ain’t good🤡🗑🗑🗑🗑
See how this looks with a rookie stretch big?
Thats why alot of us were clamoring to get the Markkanen deal done, even if we had to sacrifice the "future all star cornerstone in Podz"( according to Lacob) 😂
Markkanen was just a more polished, ready to plug n play stretch Big that excels in off ball action, with a quicker release than Post( at the moment). Same height, same weight, but way more years of experience.
Post is awesome, but at the end of the day, he is a rookie. And if were expecting to rely on a rookie( who will NATURALLY make alot of mistakes) to carry us to the playoffs And participate in the playoffs… Some might be putting expectations way too high.
They need to send Podz to the G league
Steve Kerr love small ball line up. Cannot be happen
ive been preaching for post since i saw him getting drafted. dude was a stud in college and got put straight into the g league… steve kerr is a joke
This means, Kerr lied about not having a big who can shoot, If Kerr try’s to go back to his three small guard lineup, then he should be fired. We can’t take watching Golden State lose another game because they are too small.
It doesn't matter how many points they make or how good they play, Kerr will favor Podz over Gui and Post. As of the last 2 or 3 seasons, Kerr is the problem. He doesn't know how to develop young players. Kerr is the old fool who's stuck in his ways. Yes, he has 4 coaching championships, but that doesn't mean he's still doing the job correctly or efficiently as of the last 2 seasons. He can't adjust to the changes of the game, and he's forever stuck in his coaching ways
I have total faith in Kerr that he will screw it up and go back to small ball as soon as green comes back
What's the point of drafting players just to let them languish in the G League? GSW front office is trash.
IT WILL NOT!!
Is Quinton Post good on defense?
Kerr never learns just fire the guy and still pay him lol
Great analysis, thank you
Post and Santos gave warriors fans a lot of hope. then kerr's pride will takeover next game as playing big men will lose their "Identity" 🤦🏻♂️ they have all the pieces if they play them right. they can get 20 plus leads in any team if kerr put some size and nit over extend his players. past few months has been awful to watch with this 3 players below 6'5 and 2 undersized "bigman" playing
Da Post Man & Santos….who knows? What da..idiot Kerr went past his ONLY 6'3" Height Limit, what gives?
I never want to see Buddy playing again
Warriors really need a big guy line up. their style of play won't work anymore. other team already know what is their gameplay. And yeah they need to improve their personal skills.
Steve kurr needs to fired together with Draymond Green..
He's shooting form says it all 🙌
4:13 1(gather step), 2,3,4,5
Why is the NBA ruining basketball?

Title is very misleading 😂😂💀 only one player was in the gleague the rookie that’s it santos is no rookie he been on the team for a while now.
i think steph needs to remind his team mates that he is still there and he is the top dog there at some points it looks like everyone doing there own things other than doing it for the team, example players need to show space or run the legs so others can drive to rim and they are not doing none
Gui should be in the NBA years ago but the warriors lock him up in the gleague because they know if he develops he will be an asset, the real surprise here is on how Post and Steph plays like they were teammates for years like Draymond 😂 Whatever happens tomorrow on how he plays against the Lakers i want him in the rotation regularly.
Love seeing the Warriors get another great Brazilian player 🇧🇷
I think it comes down to defense with both of those guys.
The thing with Santos is that he can actually hit multiple 3s if given the space and green light. Now, whilst I don't expect him to maintain his current shooting rate of 4/4, 4/5, 4/6 etc… I don't think it actually matters that much. Because once teams start to have to sacrifice a defender to cover him, Steph gets more room and that's never a bad thing.
Also, from watching the last few games, he seems to have figured out his positioning better. He moves well without the ball (with room for improvement) again trying to create more room for other players.
Having said that, he still over commits and gambles on some balls as a defender and he has to work on his pick and roll IMO. All easy enough skills to develop and that should come with time.
All in all, I'd have on the floor for the energy he seems to bring alone! The guy is a floor runner, he rarely gets the ball but he seems to ALWAYS be there just in case. Love the heart.
I'll refrain from commenting on Post until I've seen a larger sample but obviously enjoying what I've seen so far.
Is Quentin Post at least a decent rim protector?
Everytime a player does great on the GSW, it’s because of the absence of a good or star player. Post & Santos were good all along, Kerr only gave them a chance because he had none. If only Kerr was pragmatic enough to give young players a shot, the trade value of those layers would have been higher.
Kerr will find a way to still play terrible rotations.
Breaking News: Starting Line up versus Lakers announced. Dennis, Podz, Steph, Buddy & Ball Boy (Listed at 5'8" with shoes). Let's goooooo!
Look at that they have 7ft why Steve Kerr didn't use that tower of warriors I hope he continues that line up
Kerr has had these options all along and refuses to
Imagine just imagine 😳 if Post and Santos had played over 20 games? just imagine the effect
Never fear, as soon as the injured come back, Kerr will send them back to the g-league for a couple of more yrs, like how he did JK.
Ker is allergic to young players stepping up. This team had a lot of potential. Not quite contender but definitely not where we are rn but kerr plays favorites over who deserves it
Love how guys who never played any ball think they know what it takes to develop a player and get them ready VS a coach who won multiple championships, practiced and played with the GOAT, and sees the best players in the world week after week.
Excuse the pun but keyboard Warriors and it’s embarrassing to read all these comments that criticize when you know absolutely nothing about hoops. I’ve been watching hoops since 1980 and can guarantee I know more than just about 95% of the clowns commenting in here. Just let the pros do their jobs
36% 3pt 7ft and 46.7% 3pt 6ft 8 that can play the 3/4 and still not getting minutes? Yeah Steve Kerr needs to go imo and after he goes trade buddy and waters for pics or for a actual shooting guard that is consistent enough to help the warriors out and play these two phenomenal guys
