Quinten Post (born 21 March 2000) is a Dutch professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA), on a two-way contract with the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Boston College Eagles. Standing at 7 ft 0 in (2.13 m), he plays in power forward and center positions.

Early career

[edit]

Born in Amsterdam, Post played in the junior teams of Apollo Amsterdam at age 11.[1] He had his growing spurt late, and before he was on the juniors' second or third teams in his age category. Post quit the sport for 1,5 year when he was in the under-16 team.[2] He returned to play in the under-18 team, having grown to 2.04 m (6 ft 8+1⁄2 in), and began in the second team again. Post was promoted to the first team the next year and won the national under-18 championship in 2018 as the starting center.[2] He attended the Cartesius Lyceum.[3]

Post played together with Timberwolves' Jesse Edwards, while playing at Apollo Amsterdam.[4]

College career

[edit]

Despite having offers to play for FC Barcelona Bàsquet B in Spain and KK Mega Basket in Serbia, Post opted to play college basketball in the United States.[2] He committed to Mississippi State. He transferred to Boston College after receiving limited playing time for his junior year in the 2021–22 season.[5] In his final season he was named Second Team All-ACC as well as the ACC All-Defensive Team.[6]

Professional career

[edit]

Golden State Warriors (2024–present)

[edit]

On 27 June 2024, Post was selected with the 52nd overall pick by the Golden State Warriors in the 2024 NBA Draft.[7] He was the first Dutch player to be selected in 15 years, the first since Henk Norel in 2009.[8] He was subsequently traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in a four-team-trade for Lindy Waters III, but was subsequently traded back to the Warriors for cash considerations.[9][10] While being on a call with his parents, he cried tears of joy, but when they asked him where he was headed, he admitted he did not know either, Post told ESPN Netherlands about the chaotic draft night. Weeks later he was presented by the Warriors and chose to wear the number 21.[11]

On 26 September 2024, Post was signed to a two-way contract with the Warriors.[12]

National team career

[edit]

Post was selected for the preliminary roster of the Netherlands senior team ahead of EuroBasket 2022.[13]
