The Golden State Warriors look to add some shooting to their front court by signing big man Quinten Post, the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, to a two-way deal. Likewise, this deal runs in line with their years-long mission to develop young players like Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody into stars alongside Stephen Curry.
