On May 21 , the NBA officially announced the results of the 2024-25 season Best Rookie Team selection. Although Golden State Warriors rookie forward Post received 4 second-team votes and a total score of 4 points, he ultimately failed to make the Best Rookie First or Second Team list and was unfortunately not selected.

This season, Post's performance in the Warriors is remarkable. Although he only played in 42 games and mostly played as a substitute, he still showed good offensive efficiency and growth potential. Post averaged 16.3 minutes per game, contributing 8.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks to the team. In terms of shooting, his overall hit rate reached 44.9% , his three-pointer hit rate was as high as 40.8% , and his free throw hit rate was 77.8% . Such projection data is quite impressive for a rookie forward, especially in a system like the Warriors that emphasizes space and rhythm. Post's outside touch has undoubtedly won him a lot of attention.

It is worth mentioning that Post's season highlights mostly occurred during the team's injury wave or rotation adjustment. He seized the opportunity in a limited time, not only showing a strong finishing ability, but also a certain ability to create with the ball. In some games, he even showed the potential of a " small ball five position ", becoming a " surprise weapon " when the Warriors coaching staff adjusted tactics . It was with these performances that Post won the recognition of media votes and received 4 second-team votes.

However, due to limited playing time and games, as well as the overall strong performance and fierce competition among the rookies this season, Post failed to take advantage in total points and unfortunately missed the All-Rookie Team. Most of the players selected for the All-Rookie Team are young core players who have stable starting time and play important roles in the team. In contrast, Post's role positioning and playing environment limited his exposure and data output, which became a major reason for his failure in the selection.

Although he failed to be selected into the All-Rookie Team, Post's performance has laid a solid foundation for his future development in the NBA. His shooting range and efficiency on the offensive end, as well as his positive attitude on the defensive end, have made him regarded as a " high-potential turret " by the outside world . With the accumulation of experience and the stability of his role, Post is expected to gradually grow into an important member of the Warriors' rotation in the next few seasons, and even have the possibility of becoming a starter.

For the Warriors, the growth of this young forward is undoubtedly a big plus. With Curry gradually entering the end of his career, the team is in urgent need of new forces, and Post is one of the most anticipated representatives of this round of young players.
