Quinten Post explains what Stephen Curry did that was more important than scoring

Quinten Post deflects offensive credit to Stephen Curry’s gravity and leadership

Despite contributing offensively, Post believes his success happened primarily because Stephen Curry was on the floor creating opportunities.

“I think what you just saw today is just having Steph Curry on the court. He just makes everything so much easier for everybody offensively. And defensively, I thought we did a lot better job than our first time seeing them,” Post explained.

The game marked Curry’s return after missing the previous contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. He scored 28 points helping the Warriors secure a 118-111 victory over the Blazers.

“I think this is a big statement game for him [Curry], like he was out last game and then just to come back. He said something before the game, it was good. But his leadership and just setting the tone offensively, he had 28, he just makes all the difference,” he added.

Quinten Post identifies rebounding as critical area for defensive development

With Curry handling offensive responsibilities, Post stated he needs to become a better rebounder to help the Warriors defensively.

In the Portland game, Post recorded just two defensive rebounds, an inadequate total for a center.

“We controlled the pace a little better, still we turned the ball over too much and on the defensive glass, I don’t know what the rebounding battle was, I know for me personally in my play all I care about right now is just getting better as a rebounder,” Post stated.

Post needs to address this aspect of his game, particularly after receiving criticism for defensive deficiencies last season.

If he improves next season, he should maintain his important rotational role while benefiting from Al Horford’s mentorship, as both share similar playing styles as floor-stretching centers.
