It s okay to play the Raiders occasionally, but why do the Warriors believe in older inside rookies?

In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Golden State Warriors 121-110. After this game, the Timberwolves locked the total score of this round of series to 4-1, reaching the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, while the Warriors were eliminated, ending the playoff journey this season.

In this game, the Warriors' substitute center Quinten Post did not perform well. Post played 9 minutes and 56 seconds in the game, made 1 of 4 shots, 1 of 4 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points and 3 rebounds, and had 2 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +9. Post's offensive efficiency is still not ideal. He still hasn't found his touch outside the three-point line, his offensive efficiency is still not ideal, and his performance in other aspects is also not ideal. Even when it is garbage time, Post cannot exert his abilities. It seems that Post has a high plus or negative value, but this is also closely related to Moses Moody's brave performance in the last moment. With Post himself, he is a role in dragging the team down on the court, and his personal ability is indeed unable to meet the standards of this level and intensity game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Post played 42 games in 82 games, averaging 16.3 minutes per game, averaging 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 77.8%. So far in the playoffs, Post has averaged 12.2 minutes in the first 12 games, with averaging 3.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks, 0.5 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 33.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 31.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 75%.

Post's performance during the playoffs was really a cliff-like decline compared to the regular season. His scoring ability was really poor. When he encountered his opponent's high-intensity defense, he completely lost his touch in the regular season stage, which made him very struggling on the court. In addition, Post's performance on the defensive end is even more terrible. As a center, he not only lacks rebounding protection and basket protection ability, but also his shortcomings in movement speed and athletic ability are also visible to the naked eye. I can only say that older rookies like Post are indeed too obvious in terms of their shortcomings. It is almost the same as him occasionally playing the Raiders in the regular season. As a result, the Warriors insist on treating him as a treasure and using him as an important rotation player. Isn’t this funny?
