How did playing hoops in the Netherlands shape you? Post: “Basketball isn’t the biggest sport in the Netherlands. It’s really a soccer-dominated country. But it helped me. It helped me mature early on. I left the house at 18 to go to Berlin to play for a year. Then at 19, I crossed the ocean to go play in college (Mississippi State, Boston College). It taught me a lot just with the style of basketball and the fact that I’m a stretch big. In the European game, they teach kids a full skillset. It’s about being able to play in and out, both with and without the ball. So on a basketball level, I feel like it has shaped me into the player that I am.”

What did you change? Post: “I didn’t change my technique. But shooting is a very mental thing. If you’re doubting your shot, then it becomes hard. I came in with a lot of pressure on myself to make shots early on in training camp. So I struggled early. But once I got my reps in the G League and I played some games, I got my groove back. Then I shot the ball really well out there. It was just reps. I shot a bunch of shots, obviously. The coaching staff really helped me by telling me that I didn’t have to worry about misses. They trusted me in making shots.” In what ways did Steph help you with that? Post: “I wasn’t too much in contact with him while I was in the G League. But once I came up here, he told me that if I’m open to let it fly. So besides him, I feel like all the players expected me to shoot it and expected me to make it. So that really helped.”

On another topic, how did it come to be for you to get involved in a chess tournament last summer? Post: “After I had my break in the Netherlands, I came back here. I worked out every morning in the facility, and then I had the rest of the day for myself. So I had some time. I always used to like to play chess. But I played inconsistently. So I played a lot this summer online. I even joined a chess club in San Francisco. And then I got invited to the ‘Chesstival’ in Vegas. So I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it.’ It ended up being a really cool event. I met a bunch of great people. I ended up winning a section of it. That was pretty cool.” You won the tournament. What was the key and strategy to pull that off? Post: “In one section, I got to the semifinals. But in the individual tournament, I won the whole thing. I think it helped that I played a lot before. Building up to that, I was playing a lot in the summer. Maybe some of the other guys that played did it at the last minute. So I would say it was my preparation.”

Down their top two players, adding Horford and Moody to the list of Warriors absences called for an interesting starting five. Coach Steve Kerr started with Podziemski, Buddy Hield, Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green and Quinten Post. Moses Moody is out the rest of the preseason and will be re-evaluated in a week with what the Warriors are calling a strained calf.  “We’re not too concerned about it. It’s just we’re being careful,” Kerr told reporters in LA.

Just a few weeks in, Al Horford already has made an impact on second-year Warriors center Quinten Post. Post told reporters after practice Tuesday that he has been picking his new teammate's brain and constantly asking him questions. The 25-year-old, coming off a solid rookie season, shared how taking notes from Horford can help elevate his game on both ends of the court in Year 2. "Offensively right now we play a similar role in our system, being a spacer," Post explained. "But he's very good at looking for his own [shot]. He's actually quite an aggressive player while also being a really good team player. I feel like I can definitely learn from him from where he picks his own spots to be aggressive. He's very aggressive with his shots; he even attacks the rim out of those closeouts. "And then defensively, he's just very steady from what I've seen right now. He's always in the right spots. Obviously, he's in great shape. He's athletic for 39. Definitely a lot to learn and I'm trying to see what he's doing every day."

Looney, who signed a two-year free-agent contract with the New Orleans Pelicans last week, joined Marcus Thompson II on the "Warriors Plus/Minus" podcast and shared how he felt a bit slighted by some of Warriors coach Steve Kerr's rotation decisions, including the choice to play then-rookie Quinten Post over him, particularly in the playoffs. "I guess," Looney said when Thompson II asked him if Post was the final straw for him. "I wouldn't say it like that, but it was anybody but me it seemed like at this point. It wasn't no one moment. Even this year, probably the playoffs. We going up against Steven Adams. This is what I do. They're not really giving me the chance to really let me do what I do. "It's like, 'All right, y'all don't trust me? I thought y'all trusted me.' They put me at the end in Game 7, it's like why'd we have to wait for that point?"

Although he’s an avid online player, Rose doesn’t keep track of his rating. “I’m a baller,” he joked. “Get me on the board, I might win. I got a jankiness to my game.” Rose isn’t alone in his passion. Chess holds widespread popularity throughout the NBA — as evidenced by Sunday’s event, which featured current and former players such as Quinten Post and Tony Snell. But this shared passion also had a strange aura around it, almost cultish, as Rose described. For instance, former Bulls teammate Drew Gooden is an avid chess player, yet he never mentioned it while he shared a locker room with Rose. So why don’t NBA players talk about chess? “I have no idea,” Rose said with a laugh.

Dalton Johnson: Quinten Post is not on the Warriors’ summer league roster. He will not be playing summer league for the Warriors anymore I’m told, but likely will be around the team working out @NBCSWarriors
