Oi! Posted about him back in February. Here is a full length scouting report with clips.
http://jtmbasketball.blogspot.com/2021/02/circling-globe-part-1-gui-santos.htmlIn this new segment, 'Circling the Globe', I profile talent from every corner of the world. In this episode, I highlight Minas' breakout wing, Gui Santos, who has a chance to develop into the best Brazilian NBA prospect in recent memory. At a young age 18 (born June 22, 2002), Gui has emerged as a formidable piece in the Storm rotation, contributing to the Storm's first place standing in the NBB (the professional basketball league of Brazil) while playing alongside Gonzaga standout JP Batista. Importantly, Gui is incredibly skilled for his age and possesses the requisite length, athleticism, and basketball IQ to develop into a standout scorer at the highest level. He is the biggest sleeper international prospect I have come across so far, and should look to capitalize on a relatively weak international class in 2021 by remaining in the draft.
On the offensive end, Gui is a versatile weapon, who utilizes high ball screens to either rise up for a jumper or create for himself off the dribble. Gui has improved considerably as a shooter off the dribble this season, displaying consistent mechanics and a high release point, and connecting on 36.4% of his three point attempts. He already shows good spatial awareness to free himself for open shots in high ball screen scenarios, only requiring a little bit of daylight to get his shot off.
His upside is top 10 imo. Absolutely elite physical profile and already is better than Didi Louzada as a prospect (though they were different). I have had him pegged on my mocks on this site for months right around early 2nd/late 1st. I think his upside is actually way higher than that, but some people who haven't watched him play must have for the first time.
His outside shot is still developing, but he could play minutes in the NBA next year. He has an absolute killer mentality and is the next great Brazilian in the NBA.
