Quinten Post reveals new scoring move during Warriors preseason

LOS ANGELES – Some name it a floater. Others have dubbed it a teardrop. The rest might consider it a runner.

Second-year center Quinten Post, 25, calls it an effective addition to his bucket-getting repertoire.

Three times in just two preseason games, the 7-foot Dutchman has shown off a new type of weapon, one that sees him softly loft the ball at the rim with a high-arcing push shot from 12-to-8 feet away.

It’s hard to block, especially when taken by someone as tall as Post, but also difficult to master.

“If you’re seven feet, you’re already kind of close to the basket,” Post told the Bay Area News Group after Friday’s practice at Chase Center. “But it’s definitely a lot different shot from a regular jump shot. People that have a good jump shot don’t automatically have a good floater.
