After trading out of the second round of the 2024 draft, draft day looked to be over for the Golden State Warriors without a pick. However, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Steve Kerr were able to find a way back into the second round on Thursday.
Following a trade that saw the No. 52 overall pick head to the Oklahoma City Thunder for wing Lindy Waters III, the Warriors were later able to reacquire their own pick in the second round. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Warriors traded cash considerations to reacquire their pick in the second round, which was traded from the Thunder to the Portland Trail Blazers.
With the No. 52 overall selection in the 2024 draft, the Warriors drafted Boston College center Quinten Post.

The Warriors traded cash to reacquire the 52nd pick and drafted Quinten Post, per source. That officially hard caps the Warriors at the second apron. They are now unable to go over it this season (which was the plan regardless).

Post, from Amsterdam, Netherlands, spent the first two seasons of his college career in the SEC at Mississippi State. After two seasons, Post transferred to Boston College, playing his last three seasons with the Golden Eagles.
The seven-foot stretch five earned a spot on the 2023-24 All-ACC team last season, averaging a career-best 17 points on 51.8% shooting from the field and 43.1% from deep to go along with 8.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
Post started the 2023-24 campaign on fire with an explosive 31-point performance with five made 3-pointers against Fairfield. Post made three of more 3-pointers in nine different games last seasons for Boston College.
