Player card

- Position: official roster label C.
- Age/experience: 26 during the season; entering NBA Year 3.
- Depth role: co-backup center and spacing specialist alongside Stewart, 14-minute base role.
- 2025-26: 67 GP/35 starts for Golden State, 17.3 MPG; .440 FG, .791 FT, 1.4 3PM, 7.7 PTS, 4.0 REB, 1.4 AST, 0.4 STL, 0.5 BLK, 0.8 TO. ESPN stats, accessed 2026-07-18
2026-27 base projection
| GP | MPG | FG% (FGA) | FT% (FTA) | 3PM | PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 64 | 14 | .445 (5.3) | .790 (0.7) | 1.1 | 6.4 | 3.2 | 1.1 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 0.7 |
Correction 2026-07-18 Raised from 9 to 14 base minutes and 3.9 to 6.4 points. The prior line treated him as a token third center, which is inconsistent with two facts already on this page: Memphis paid $30 million for him, and Edey is projected for only 57 games after two ankle surgeries and an elbow procedure. Post played 17.3 MPG in 67 games for a playoff Golden State team; 14 minutes behind an injury-prone starter on a rebuilding team is the conservative reading, not the aggressive one. NBA.com, 2026-07-09
Nine-category: roughly top 180-235 per game at base; a genuine threes/blocks/rebounds streamer whenever Edey sits. Points: schedule and injury-dependent. Dynasty: deep hold because stretch centers preserve roles well.
Range and risks
- Strengths: center threes, low turnovers, adequate FT% and some blocks.
- Liabilities: FG% is weak for a center and the baseline role is small.
- Floor/base/ceiling: Stewart takes all the backup-five work and Post falls to nine minutes / 14-minute spacing center / Edey misses extended time and Post starts at 24-26 minutes for roughly 11/6/2 with 1.9 threes.
- Branches: Edey's health is the dominant variable. Whether Post can share the floor with Edey is the second: he shot .336 from three in 2025-26 on real volume, which is the mechanism that would make a two-big lineup legal, and if Memphis plays it his minutes floor rises rather than his ceiling.
NBA.com's signing report gives the deal, the 67-game baseline and Memphis frontcourt context. The contract supports roster security and argues for role; it does not resolve why three rotation centers were assembled. NBA.com, 2026-07-09
Confidence
| Component | Label | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Roster | High | New multi-year contract. |
| Minutes | Medium | Three credible centers compete, but the contract and Edey's availability both point up. |
| Rate | High | 67-game NBA baseline. |
| Availability | High | No current restriction found. |

Two buried years at Mississippi State (1.1 and 2.8 points), then three at Boston College: 9.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in 2021-22, 15.1 and 5.6 on .539/.426 in an injury-shortened 19-game 2022-23 that still won him ACC Most Improved Player, and 17.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 blocks on .514/.431/.821 in 31.9 minutes as a fifth-year senior — second-team All-ACC and ACC All-Defensive. Draft: 2024, second round, 52nd overall, Golden State Warriors; the first Dutch player drafted since 2009.

Durability: 42 games as a rookie, but that reflects a mid-season two-way-to-standard promotion and Santa Cruz time, not injury. 67 games with 35 starts in 2025-26 with no significant absence identified. His only notable missed time was the 19-game 2022-23 college season.
Trajectory: Two seasons of a narrow but real NBA skill: a 7-foot center who takes and makes threes, keeps turnovers under one, and rebounds adequately. The three-point rate is the whole case, and it moved the wrong way — .408 as a rookie on lower volume, .336 in 2025-26 on more. Field-goal percentage in the low .440s is poor for a center and caps his usefulness in nine-cat. Memphis paid $30 million over three years, which buys roster security and argues for something better than a token role, but Edey and Stewart are both ahead of or level with him. He becomes a genuine threes/rebounds/blocks streamer the moment Edey misses time — a real possibility given two ankle surgeries and an elbow procedure — and a 24-minute starter if that absence is extended.

Open questions
- Did Memphis sign Post to play regularly, or chiefly to insure Edey?
- Can Post and Stewart share the second unit?
