Warriors Officially Sign Gui Santos for Rest of Season

According to the NBA transactions log, forward Gui Santos has officially signed a contract with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

According to Luke Adams of Hoops Rumors, Santos will get a three-year contract worth the veteran’s minimum of each of the three seasons. Michael Scotto of HoopsHype claims that Santos’ new contract only guarantees $75,000.

Additionally, Santos is still anticipated to play with the G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors, according to Kendra Andrews of ESPN. He provides the Warriors with “more frontcourt depth but doesn’t add much size to an already small team” at 6-foot-7, according to Andrews.

Santos, 21, was selected by the Warriors with the No. 55 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He has been playing for Santa Cruz since, averaging 12.7 points and 6.0 rebounds, shooting 50 percent from the field in 26 G League games last season.

He spent the offseason with Team Brazil at the FIBA World Cup.

“Golden State is signing Santos with the second-round pick exception,” wrote Bobby Marks of ESPN. “The Warriors only have the vet minimum but because Santos was drafted in the 2nd round, they are allowed to use the exception.”
