Quinten Post's first press conference; plus Anthony Vereen and Jackson Rowe; plus open thread
LV Summer League starts tonight, but GSW starts play on Saturday
For subscribers, I have a transcript of Post’s conference.
I expect Quinten Post to play in the Las Vegas Summer League games, possibly as early as the first weekend. I suspect GSW will play Trayce Jackson-Davis for two of the first three games and play and start Post for the rest. This would (1) not overdo it for TJD, (2) give Bolden and Sorkin a little more playing time, (3) not rush Post into action.
Also:
I have watched the Wizs vs. Hawks yesterday night. Risacher is very good, already moves very well on court. Sarr is less ready, but more intriguing: considering he's 19, he can easily become the new Durant (but taller). One thing is undeniable: the times of easy olympic and WC medals are over, for USA, there will soon come a time when France will torch any US team you will send.
Denver Nuggets No. 22 overall pick DaRon Holmes II has suffered a torn right Achilles tendon, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. He’s expected to miss the 2024-25 season. Devastating blow for one of the Nuggets’ promising young pieces.

Holmes is the Nuggets rookie PF/C. This really sucks for Denver....
