The Golden State Warriors are making a strategic shift as they prepare to start rookie big man Quinten Post alongside star guard Steph Curry against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Head coach Steve Kerr has expressed confidence in Post, who has been averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in his first eight games. This will mark Post's first career NBA start, as Kerr aims for a record number of starting lineups this season.

The Warriors have been exploring options, including a potential trade for Nikola Vucevic, but they appear hopeful that Post can fill the stretch big role they need. The starting lineup for the upcoming game will also include Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and Buddy Hield, setting the stage for an interesting matchup against the Thunder.
