The Warriors added Lindy Waters III, Quinten Post and Reece Beekman on Draft Day.
Boston College forward Quinten Post goes up against forward Jordan Minor during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in the quarterfinal round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament Thursday, March 14, 2024, in Washington. The Warriors didn’t expect to make a pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after they agreed to send their lone selection — No. 52 overall — to the Oklahoma City Thunder for reserve wing Lindy Waters III.
“We felt like versus the 52nd pick, this is a player who we feel can do better than 52,” Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. said in a post-draft press conference. Along with Waters, Post was also a player Golden State identified on its wish list. When his name remained available as No. 52 approached, the Warriors agreed to get back into the 52nd slot.“Can shoot the ball, stretch the floor,” Dunleavy said of Post. “He’s got really good size. But more importantly, you want players who can do more than one thing. We think he rebounds, we think he can defend at a level at the rim that’s NBA acceptable. Good passer. So, he fits a lot of things we look for.
“We’re aware of what did,” Dunleavy said. “I think we’re okay with that. To stay under the second apron is plenty of money to spend to build a good team.”NBA Draft Day 2: What to know about the Warriors’ pick
