Brazilian Gui Santos joins the Golden State Warriors rotation [EN/PT-BR]

English Version

After having nine players in the 2015-16 NBA season, Brazil has just one representative this season. Gui Santos was signed by the Golden State Warriors and has played his first minutes in the league with great results.

At just 21 years old, the guard was the 55th pick in the 2022 draft and played in the development league for the Santa Cruz Warriors until November last year, when he signed a three-year contract to play for the Golden State Warriors team.

After entering the final minutes of the game at the end of the year, the Brazilian gained more minutes from this year onwards, playing 18 minutes against the Brooklyn Nets and 21 minutes against the Indiana Pacers.

Against the Brooklyn Nets, Gui Santos scored 9 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and one steal. Not bad for a rookie, who contributed to his team's 109-98 victory on February 5th.

Against the Indiana Pacers, the result was even better, contributing 13 points and 8 rebounds, almost a double-double in the 131-109 victory on February 8.

Despite having only played a few minutes, Gui Santos is already impressive with his significant defensive impact with as many rebounds as his scoring, as he performs very well inside and outside the paint with accurate 3-point shots.

The Brazilian still has a long way to go, but the start is promising and both coach Steve Kerr and his teammates show a lot of confidence in his game.

Thank you very much for reading and see you next time!


Português (Brasil)

Depois de chegar a ter nove jogadores na temporada de 2015-16 da NBA, o Brasil tem apenas um representante nesta temporada. Gui Santos foi contratado pelo Golden State Warriors e tem jogado seus primeiros minutos na liga com um ótimo resultado.

Com apenas 21 anos de idade, o ala foi a 55ª escolha do draft de 2022 e atuava na liga de desenvolvimento pelo Santa Cruz Warriors até novembro do ano passado, quando assinou um contrato de três anos para jogar pela equipe do Golden State Warriors.

Depois de entrar nos minutos finais de jogo no fim do ano, o brasileiro ganhou mais minutos a partir deste ano, chegando a atuar durante 18 minutos contra o Brooklyn Nets e 21 minutos contra o Indiana Pacers.

Contra o Brooklyn Nets, Gui Santos anotou 9 pontos, pegou 5 rebotes, 2 tocos e um roubo de bola. Nada mal para um novato, que contribuiu para a vitória do seu time por 109 a 98 no dia 5 de fevereiro.

Contra o Indiana Pacers, o resultado foi ainda melhor contribuindo com 13 pontos e 8 rebotes, quase um duplo-duplo na vitória de 131 a 109.

Apesar de ter atuado poucos minutos, Gui Santos já impressiona pelo impacto defensivo expressivo com tantos rebotes quanto pela pontuação, já que atua muito bem dentro do garrafão e fora dele com arremessos certeiros de 3 pontos.

O brasileiro ainda tem um longo caminho pela frente, mas o começo é promissor e tanto o técnico Steve Kerr, quanto os colegas de elenco demonstram muita confiança em seu jogo.

Muito obrigado pela leitura e até a próxima!
