You can see why the Warriors were willing to take a chance on Gui Santos in the second round. He finishes his summer league debut with 23 points on 7-13 shooting with 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. Great size, solid finisher and high upside as a playmaker.

Gui Santos is the Brazilian Luka.

The Warriors took Gui Santos 55th overall this past draft. Initial plan has been to stash him next season, maybe in Santa Cruz or elsewhere. Looked fluid and skilled offensively in his summer league debut. Here are some of his 20 points in first three quarters. pic.twitter.com/DucZ5K7o3v

Umm… Gui Santos needs to be on the team.
— Brando Simeo Starkey (@BrandoStarkey) July 3, 2022
Gui Santos does a really nice job of attacking the paint and either finishing under pressure, getting to the line, or finding an open teammate.
Impressive floor game on display here. A lot to like.

Teams already making panic trades after watching one quarter of Gui Santos.
— John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) July 3, 2022
Gui Santos, Golden State's 55th pick in last week's draft and a 6-8 forward from the Novo Basquete Brasil league, is shining so far for the Warriors' summer league team here at the California Classic: 4 for 6 with 11 points and five rebounds midway through the second quarter.

Top Risers to Watch in California Classic Summer League:
Paris Bass (LAL)
Jamal Cain (MIA)
Haywood Highsmith (MIA)
Keon Ellis (SAC)
Gui Santos (GSW)If I had to guess, I think Miami's going 3-0 in California. Their G League scouting department has set the bar yet again.

Gui Santos stood out on the court this game
✅Underrated playmaker(good vision)
✅Good size
✅Great footwork
✅Good finisher(needs more vert)
✅Great paceImprove on handles and 3pt shot and he's gonna be a stud

Looking forward to the "Keegan Murray vs Gui Santos: FULL DUEL" YouTube videos tonight

Gui Santos sure is an intriguing young player. Super long playmaking wing at 6’8 with a 7’1 WS. Can really get to the bucket. Looks like a solid and potentially versatile defender, too. Selected by GS with the 55th pick, he could eventually prove one of the steals of this draft.
— Brett Usher (@hooperbole) July 3, 2022
only problem i see with gui santos is his turnovers but that only comes with more reps and experience
gui santos is definitely on my agenda
— 𝙙𝙤𝙢 🪐 (@hoodiedoms) July 3, 2022
I’m watching some Gui Santos film, the step back 3 is a big part of his arsenal. He’s really comfortable going to it. Impressive for someone his size at 6’8
— Hollie_415 (@Hollie_415) July 3, 2022
Gui Santos just needs some G League reps cause he might be it
— Alex 👋 (@dbs408) July 3, 2022
If I didn’t know anything I’d assume Gui Santos was a first round pick the way he looks here. Moves really well and has decent handle for his size. Strong too.
— Evan Zamir (@thecity2) July 3, 2022
Once he steps foot on the court in the regular season for the Dubs (whether it's this season or next),
Gui Santos 🇧🇷 will be the FIRST ever Golden State Warrior to have the same initials as the team (GS).
Great Selection! (see what I did there) pic.twitter.com/5K05QZWyhr
