Steve Kerr inserts Rookie Quinten Post in Warriors’ Starting Setup

San Francisco – Steve Kerr joked that he is trying to set the record for most different starting lineups in one season.

He is not a bad pace.

Golden State’s latest wrinkle is to insert the two-way center quinten post in start-five, where he takes the place of Trayce Jackson-Davis. Post, which has impressed in its first four matches in an NBA rotation, gives Warriors a new look as a floor-spacing.

Start-Fem of Post, Steph Curry, Buddy Hield, Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II are Warriors ’28. Unique starting lineup combination of the season bound with Philadelphia for the most part this year. Memphis constantly set a record for different starting units last year with 51.

Post has shot the ball with confidence behind the arch and hoisted four, 10, five and five 3-point attempts in the last four games. The 24-year-old rookie has developed quick chemistry with Curry, which he had never played next to-not once in training camp last week.

Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga remain sideline of injuries, but it’s easy to imagine Post’s skills set up when they return.

“I think the beauty of a big stretch is that everyone can play with a big stretch,” Kerr said earlier this week. “It opens up on the floor. It literally makes everyone better. “

Post shoots 37.5% from 3 on what is still a small sample. There is concern about his defensive ability, especially in pick-and-roll and by keeping out of bad trouble. Oklahoma City, who plays a five-out-style, is tied to target him by drawing him out of the paint on switches.
