Post was promoted to the first team the next year and won the national under-18 championship in 2018 as the starting center. He attended the Cartesius Lyceum.[3]
Despite having offers to play for FC Barcelona Bàsquet B in Spain and KK Mega Basket in Serbia, Post opted to play college basketball in the United States. He committed to Mississippi State.

Post was selected for the preliminary roster of the Netherlands senior team ahead of EuroBasket 2022.[10]
