Why the D-? Did they think that the Warriors needed another G or PF?

Got a link to it? Curious about their reasoning. Didn’t seem like he had a lot of negatives from The Ringers Draft Guide.
Edit: I tried to link the post here but for some reason it was taken down.
Edit 2: Quinten Post’s minuses are basically just that he can’t post up and his movement shooting isn’t great. But how many 7 footers have a 3 point shot, let alone 3 point shot while moving?

> Knockdown shooter from the center position: He made 42.9 percent of his 3s over his final two collegiate seasons. He also made 83.2 percent of his free throws.
> Incredibly coordinated big man who displays excellent touch on floaters and hook shots, making him a prime candidate to thrive out of the short roll. He can also attack closeouts off the dribble to drive into sweeping runners and layups.
> Capable of running dribble handoffs as a perimeter facilitator. Heās not a flashy passer, but he can make the simple play. Combine his shooting, straight-line driving, and passing skills, and you have an intriguing fit in a ton of systems.
> Reliable interior defender who alters and blocks shots without fouling. Boston College was 21.6 points per 100 possessions worse on defense when Post was off the floor, per CBB Analytics.
> MINUSES
> His handle tends to get a little too loose on post-ups. Despite his last name, heās better when heās facing up rather than playing with his back to the basket.
> Can he expand on his standstill shooting ability? He can spot up and pick-and-pop, but adding some movement shooting would bring a unique dimension to his game as a 7-footer.

We didnāt get a F though

ESPN WOKE – they gave the Lakers an A+ for the BRonny pick.

That’s super weird…especially being a 7 foot center drafted to undersized team
S_Bar_Sinister
I think the thinking is he won’t be as successful in the pros as he was in college against slower, smaller, younger players. Still he’s a 7 footer who can shoot and neither of those things change so I think that grade was shite.

Who cares?
If any of these writers were serious people they wouldnāt be at ESPN. Hollinger was the best of them and the Grizzlies sucked when he actually worked for the team.

I think Wiseman was an A- sooo

Nobody cares. When we win another ship that will shut them up.

Lmaoā¦watch this kid 100X Wiseman.
ESPN is a joke.

It’s ESPN. Who cares? I recommend other NBA news sources.

Everything is just speculation at this point, I wana see the young guys play, canāt wait for summer league! Itās crazy how Iām getting more and more sucked in as a warriors fan, before I would only watch the games, now Iām watching trades, draft,and summer league!

Please stop.

These grades are always silly. No one will know for sure until like 3-5 years from now.

Hopefully he doesnt end up like a dragan bender

This is great. I hope he hears the disrespect and gets a huge chip on his shoulder!

ESPN is utter garbage nowadays. Pay walls for lackluster reporting and analysis that makes 0 sense.
You’d be better off polling the NBA subreddit than relying on an ESPN article.

Why is there even such thing as a draft grade 1 day after the draft?
It should only be done 3 years later

This whole thing was probably handled from start to finish by a production assistant.

If ESPN hates it then it’s a great pick.
Kudos to MDJ and the team!

Literally all his positives are exactly what we need and his negatives are irrelevant, his handle? Movement shooting? Who gives a fuck. He literally sounds perfect for the warriors.

Edy went much sooner and canāt shoot.

This is from Kevin Peltonās projection models

Itās the 52nd pick. If he plays 1 game and doesnāt totally suck, the grade is a B. If he can play 15 min a game, itās at A+

I bet his āadvancedā age was a factor.

I watched some highlights on YouTube. Reminds me of Bjelica.

Remember, they thought was a big mistake to draft Steph Curry in 2009.

Post is good. Watched him play at BC. Youāll like him
Creeping_behind_u
After giving it some thought… probably a bad idea to do a trade with the best GM in the league. Hope we’re not missing on something, that OKC GM sees.
3 weeks ago I told my friend that if OKC calls, hang the fuck up. we will see how Post is in 1-2 years.

So I guess there is no way to go lower.

These grades are pulled out of their ass.

Maybe now is a good time to remind y’all that 12 years ago the Warriors also used the 52nd pick to draft a 7- footer from Europe. Serbia actually. He played 39 games in the NBA, scoring a total of 35 points. But he did get a ring with the Warriors. He went on to win championships in 3 different leagues in Europe. In total he compiled 10 championships in 5 different leagues. I wonder if that’s some kind of record. I will only say that his initials are OK, and I remember seeing him at the Bay Street mall in Emeryville. Hard to miss a 7-footer. Anyway, I hope Post has a better career with the Warriors.
