Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos joins Ric Bucher and Boki Nachbar on Fullcourt Passport for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from Brazilian pro basketball to the NBA, why he’s effectively the lone “born-and-raised” Brazilian currently in the league, and how his game transformed once he landed with the Warriors organization.
Gui breaks down how signing a pro contract with Minas changed his path (and removed the college option at the time), what it was like learning to thrive without the ball alongside Stephen Curry, and the key mindset shift he had to make in the G League with Santa Cruz: defense, spacing, quick decisions, and doing the work that doesn’t always show up in the box score.
He also shares the behind-the-scenes reality of the Nike Hoop Summit year disrupted by the pandemic, why he pulled out of the 2021 NBA Draft after realizing the athletic gap, and what he improved to make a major leap into 2022. Plus: thoughts on the pipeline of Brazilian talent (including his brother), the appeal of FIBA/Euro basketball, and why he still dreams of one day getting the chance to play point guard and run the show—with the Warriors, Brazil, or beyond.
