The Golden State Warriors recently signed forward Guay Santos to a 3-year deal worth $15 million. The Brazilian player, once a second round draft pick, has turned heads with his breakout performance this season. Since late January, Santos has averaged nearly 15 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. He's shooting over 58% from the field, and more than 40% from 3-point range, stepping into a bigger role with some key, player sidelined. Santos shared a funny story about breaking the news to his parents. He called them sounding dead serious, and they worried he'd done his fiance pregnant. Instead, he revealed the contract extension, sparking tears of joy all around. He credits the Warriors' coaches, staff, and glee time in Santa Cruz for his growth. That coach Steve Kerr has praised Santos for adding new dimensions, like handling the ball and scoring in the post.
