A new chapter for Quinten Post
Quinten Post, the former Boston College standout who entered the NBA after being selected in the second round of the 2024 draft, has agreed to a three‑year, $30 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The deal includes a player option that guarantees him roughly $6‑8 million per season, a figure that would place him among the top earners from his alma mater in NBA history.
Golden State Warriors retain a four‑day window, until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, to exercise a matching offer, a deadline that adds urgency to the negotiations.
If the Warriors elect not to match, Post will officially join the Grizzlies, a move that could reshape the team's frontcourt dynamics and give the franchise a versatile big man with a proven shooting touch.
Since his rookie season, Post has evolved from a 35‑start role player who averaged 7.7 points per game to a more consistent contributor, shooting 33.6 percent from three‑point range while improving his free‑throw accuracy to 79.1 percent.
His senior year at Boston College was marked by being named the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Most Improved Player, leading the Eagles with 15.1 points per game and earning an All‑ACC Honorable Mention.
The contract would elevate Post to the upper echelon of Boston College alumni in NBA earnings, trailing only figures such as Reggie Jackson, whose career earnings exceed $190 million, and veterans Jared Dudley and Dana Barros, who have amassed contracts surpassing $50 million and $35 million respectively.
Industry observers note that Post’s ascent reflects a broader trend of former collegiate standouts leveraging strong shooting profiles and steady improvement to secure sizable contracts, a narrative that has been covered extensively by outlets like ESPN.
