Even if you can t attack or defend, you can t defend. Can a player of this level stay in the Warriors rotation lineup?

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals.

In this game, the Warriors' substitute inside rookie Quinten Post's performance is still speechless. Post played 17 minutes and 48 seconds in the game, made 2 of 6 shots and 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, and 5 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -9. Post did nothing on the offensive end, his scoring ability and shooting ability were not displayed, and he had no way to provide any help and support to the team on the offensive end. Post has no ability to protect the basket and rebound protection on the defensive end. The inside line he guards is completely useless, and the opponent can easily beat him. Post doesn't play much, but his negative impact on the team on the court is also visible to the naked eye. It is no exaggeration to say that Post's series of performances on both offense and defense have also directly led to the team's defeat to a certain extent. With his ability and condition, he should not appear in the rotation lineup of this game at all.

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 19.3 minutes in the first five games, with averaging 6.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. His shooting percentage is 32.5%, three-point shooting percentage is 30.8%, and free throw shooting percentage is 75%.

In fact, Post's performance during the playoffs can be described as terrible. His offensive efficiency is very poor. In such a high-intensity and high-tempo game, his offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage are simply unable to maintain a stable level. Not only that, Post's performance on the defensive end was even more eye-catching. Post is really an inside player who has no defensive ability at all. His lack of confrontational ability has also led to his lack of ability to protect the basket and rebounds. He also lacks the speed of movement and basic athletic ability at a fast enough time, and he has no way to provide support for assisting and switching defenses. Post's average plus-minus value during the playoffs was -4.3, which further illustrates how much negative impact he has on the team.

The effect on the court is so poor, and even the best outside shooting is impossible. Such a player can still stay in the rotation lineup in key games like G6 in the series, and get not too little playing time. What is this arrangement not to destroy yourself? Next, we can continue to see how stubborn the Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is. Since you trust him so much, if you have the ability, you can try letting Post first and let him play for 30 minutes in the G7 that decides life and death?
