Another game. Another loss. The Golden State Warriors just can’t catch a break. They haven’t returned to square one—instead, they’re spinning in an endless cycle of frustration. What’s going wrong? That’s a puzzle worth thinking about. Wednesday’s matchup against the Kings felt winnable. But fate had other plans. Steve Kerr needed a victory, especially after the brutal 40-point blowout by the Celtics. Instead, he got another heartbreak.

Amid the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged—24-year-old rookie Quinten Post. The 7-foot Dutch center played his third game of the 2024-25 season. As a two-way player with the Santa Cruz Warriors, he stepped up when Steve Kerr needed him most. Playing for 15 minutes, Quinten Post had 6 rebounds and a 1/4 three-point. Look, Sacramento did enough damage to the Dubs by the time Post dropped in. However, the head coach wants to explore the gameplay with Post in future games.

At the end of the 123-117 disappointment, Coach Kerr shared his thoughts on Quinten Post. The media wanted to know if the rookie center would be in the rotations for the Warriors more often. Steve Kerr replied: “I’d like to, you know. He changes the look out there. He can stand out there and make a three, he can pass. You saw how he battled Sabonis in there. It’s a different look for us. And I’d like to give him some time here.”

You never know, which player on the roster could be the helping hand Stephen Curry has been in search of. And maybe, just maybe, Post might be the one. But then, it’s just a shout-out into the void, a desperate prayer because the Dubs are in muddy waters this season. Probably their worst run in the last decade with a record of 21-22. Laying low as the eleventh seed of the West.

At the same time, being the rookie on the team, Post has a lot to learn from the veterans like Steph Curry. And the more time he spends with the Golden State Warriors, the better. After all, these are the hoopsters who’ll most likely carry forward the legacy Curry and Green will be leaving behind.

Quinten Post shares opinions on Steve Kerr’s brightest star, Stephen Curry’s role

Meanwhile, Stephen Curry isn’t having his best season. But that doesn’t change his greatness. After 16 seasons with the Dubs, it’s his team. Everything revolves around him. Curry is the Sun of the Bay Area, and Post knows it. Speaking to the media after a promising performance in a disheartening loss, Steve Kerr‘s rookie cleared his stance on Curry’s leadership.

“That’s kind of part of being a rookie. You just kind of have to figure that out,” Post stated. “I mean, obviously, you know what Steph had done for this organization. It’s kind of his organization, so I just have to fit in. And I’ll figure it out and I’ll talk to him about it.” He further noted: “But he’s a great leader, and he tells me kind of like what he likes in certain actions. And yeah, it’ll just take a little time, but we’ll figure it out.”

In the stormy game against the Kings, Coach Kerr’s brightest star, Stephen Curry scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 12 assists. Thus hitting a double-double. Was his efforts of any use at the end? No. But he’s carrying on for the team and the players who look up to him. Meanwhile, Andrew Wiggins chipped in 25 points, thus being the top scorer for the Dubs on Wednesday.

Thus, Quinten Post has a long road ahead, but he’s making all the right moves. With Curry guiding him and Steve Kerr believing in him, the rookie has a real shot at carving out a role. The Warriors are in trouble and every team needs a spark. Maybe, just maybe, Post could be theirs. Who knows?
