Post with wear No. 21, per the team, and is expected to play with the Warriors in Summer League. While the Warriors are usually not a team that relies heavily on youth, that changed quite a bit last season with both Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis getting extended minutes in their rookie season.

Golden State is excited to have Post, who had a great college career.
