Player Profile: Gui Santos

At 6'8, Santos was asked to play a big man role, often matching up against taller players. He has added considerable muscle over the past year and used that physicality to be effective around the basket while spacing the floor as a stretch big.

BRANDIN PODZIEMSKIBrandin Podziemski, the 19th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, led the Warriors in assists (37 assists, 5.28 APG) and steals (9 steals, 1.28 SPG) during summer league. Podziemski dished out his summer-league-high 10 assists against the New Orleans Pelicans and had his summer-league-best five steals against the Charlotte Hornets. He nearly had a triple-double against the Pelicans scoring 10 points and grabbing nine rebounds to complement his 10 assists.

TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVISRookie Trayce Jackson-Davis appeared in the Dubs' final two summer league games, averaging 16.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks. Jackson-Davis' steal and block averages were the best on the team, with his scoring ranking third and rebounding ranking second.

Highlights: Trayce Jackson-Davis First NBA Double-Double – 7/15/23

Jackson-Davis thrived in the pick-and-roll as a lob threat who provided great vertical spacing. Defensively, he anchored the back line of the defense as a rim protector.

UP NEXTBrandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis are currently members of the Warriors' roster so fans will have the opportunity to see their NBA development once the 2023-24 season begins. As it stands, the Warriors have two remaining roster spots and three two-way slots. Lester Quinones or Gui Santos would have to be signed to one of those spots to make the team.
