Warriors Leave Promising Center Out of Summer League Plans originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The NBA Summer League offers the opportunity for young players to continue their development and showcase why they deserve a spot on a team’s roster, and maybe even their rotation. The Golden State Warriors need no such convincing from one key youngster.

One of the biggest holes on the roster this season for the Warriors was at the center position. That will remain a focal point of the offseason for the organization. Adding reinforcements in the frontcourt should be expected.

While the Warriors may be looking for a boost to their starting lineup, there was one player who emerged as a viable rotational option in 2024-25 at that spot. That player was Quinten Post.

Post went from being selected 52nd overall in the 2024 NBA Draft to seeing regular minutes in the Warriors rotation. The rookie big man averaged 8.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from 3-point.

The Warriors center even appeared in the postseason for the team. His impact there was lackluster by comparison to the regular season. Despite that, the Warriors have reportedly seen enough to make a key decision on Post moving forward.

Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area revealed that the Warriors big man will not have a prominent role in the Summer League. The indications here are that Golden State has seen enough from their young big.

“Quinten Post is not on the Warriors’ summer league roster. He will not be playing summer league for the Warriors anymore I’m told, but likely will be around the team working out,” Johnson wrote on Twitter/X.

One would imagine this decision being inspired by Post’s strong contributions this past season. The Warriors appear to believe that their young center has done enough to earn himself a prominent spot with the team moving forward.
