The Brazilian center (2.04 meters) came from Ulm from Germany, showing great potential and the ability to shoot from long range (44.1% from three in the EuroCup). He’s a mobile center, not afraid of contact, draws a lot of fouls and has good footwork.
Santos was born November 2nd, 2002 and grew up in Tres Coracoes, Minas Gerais, southeast Brazil. He rose through Franca, one of Brazil’s top clubs, winning three national championships, the Basketball Champions League Americas, and the Intercontinental Cup. In Brazil, he av-eraged 13.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 47.9% from three before coming to Eu-rope last summer.
His first stop in Europe was Ulm, where he played alongside Ben Saraf. In the German league, the young center averaged just over 17 minutes a game, posting 8.2 points and 3.9 rebounds. In the playoffs, those numbers rose to 8.7 points and 3 rebounds.
Santos also played 17 EuroCup games for Ulm, averaging a solid 7.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 44.1% from three in 14.5 minutes per game. He’s also part of Brazil’s national team roster, having played in the World Cup and AmeriCup qualifiers.
