Nevertheless, Golden State has made an effort to have him play for the big club when Santa Cruz isn’t available, which provides them with additional depth if necessary.
Although Santos now lacks a clear path to playing time in the NBA, the Warriors expect to see him continue to grow in the G-League, where he has displayed some excellent play while bouncing between Santa Cruz and Golden State.
