Brazil's Gui Santos entering 2021 NBA draft
Brazilian forward Gui Santos has submitted paperwork to the league office to make himself eligible for the 2021 NBA draft, his agent Aylton Tesch of A11 Sports Management told ESPN.
Santos, the No. 33 prospect in the ESPN 2022 mock draft, is having a productive season as a starter in the Brazilian first division for Minas Tênis Clube, which is in second place with a 26-4 record. The 6-foot-8, 18-year-old forward is averaging 8.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 37% on 3-pointers.
He was one of 13 players invited to the Nike Hoop Summit World Team earlier this month, a prestigious honor. He put himself on the NBA radar at the NBA's Basketball Without Borders Americas camp in 2019.
