Beyond the game

Santos comes from a Brazilian basketball family — both his father, Deivisson, and mother, Lucineide, played the game — and rose from the NBB to the NBA as a late second-round pick, a patient development story. He carries the growing wave of Brazilian talent in the league.

His identity is energy and athleticism — a 6-foot-7 forward who runs the floor, cuts, and competes, growing his role each season. On a veteran Warriors team, his youth, motor, and cheap contract make him a useful complementary piece with room to develop his shooting and consistency.
