FROM PICK #55 TO CONTRACT EXTENSION
In the 2022 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors used their 55th pick on a 20-year-old Brazilian forward named Guilherme Santos. Three and a half years later, on February 28, 2026, the Warriors signed him to a multi-year contract extension — a commitment to a player whose growth trajectory had become impossible to ignore.
This page tells that story through the numbers. From averaging 1.6 points in 5.8 minutes per game in October 2025 to posting 15.1 PPG in 30 minutes by February 2026, Gui Santos' breakout season is a case study in patience, development, and what happens when opportunity meets preparation.
After watching Gui Santos average 15.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in February while shooting 56.9% from the field, the Warriors made it official. The multi-year extension was the organization's statement: this player is part of the future.
