The Warriors stated that they would not invest more in the fifth position, and it is more important to focus on cultivating self-selected rookies.

The teams that were eliminated in the offseason have begun their preparations for reinforcement, and the Warriors have not had too many trading rumors. Previously, it was reported that the Warriors were interested in the Bucks' Big Lopez and they intended to make the inside shortcuts in the offseason. However, according to the Warriors' report today, the Warriors may not pursue Big Lopez, and they tend to train Quantung Post.

Quenton Post was selected by the Warriors at the 22nd pick in the second round in the 2024 draft. In the regular season, he played 14 games as the starter, averaged 16.3 minutes per game, and scored 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists. His ability to open up space this season surprised the Warriors coaching staff. The shooting percentage of three-pointers in the bottom corners on both sides was 42.9% and 50% respectively, but the stability in the three-second zone was average, with a shooting percentage of only 30%.

During the playoffs, Post played 12 games for the Warriors, of which 2 games were played as the starter, averaging 12.2 minutes per game, and averaged 3.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 33.3%, shooting percentage of 31.3% from three-pointers and shooting percentage of 75.0%.

It is reported that the Warriors are unwilling to invest a lot of money in the space-type fifth position. Given the current tight salary in the team, the management is more willing to cultivate their own young rookies, which has a successful precedent for the Warriors.

Reviewing the Warriors' draft and internal mining, the success of Clay and Zhu Meng has proved their vision. After being selected by the Warriors at the 11th pick in the first round, Clay is known for his historical three-point shooting and off-ball ability. He formed the famous "Splash Brothers" with Curry. He is also a core member of the Warriors' 4-Champion. Zhu Meng has made a direct counterattack from a second round pick to a defensive core. In 2024, the US media re-arranged the 2012 draft and has also become a key member of the Warriors' system.

Warriors coach Cole also said: It is meaningless to overdraw the team's draft picks to trade.
