Post could be an intriguing prospect for the Warriors to develop.

If he doesn't make the roster, it's very possible that he will end up playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors.

His career averages (in college) were 10.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks per contest while shooting 50.7% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range in 124 games for Boston College and Mississippi State.

The NBA moratorium has ended, allowing teams to conduct official business. Warriors finalized the draft day trade of Quinten Post.

The 7-footer out of BC is expected to play in Summer League, which starts today at Chase Center with the California Classic.

As for the Warriors, they finished this past year as the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.

They lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the playoffs for the third time in the previous five seasons.

That said, the franchise has also won four NBA Championships since 2015.
