Gui Santos

Media Conference

Q. What was your summer like? Where did you go? Did you work on anything specifically for your game?

GUI SANTOS: My summer was great. I think that was the summer I spent the most time in Brazil back with my family, my hometown in Brasilia. I was always around here watching summer League and also working on my game, a lot of shooting forms, a lot of defense and physical stuff.

So I think that was a great summer for me, especially to work on my game, work on what I've got to do, what I've got to help bring to help the Warriors on the court.

Q. Jimmy Butler had a get-together last week. What was that like?

GUI SANTOS: That was great. It's always nice to have an experience like that because you can be around everybody. You can have other guys that you're going to have like a family because we are going to live together, like more together between us than our families.

So get to know all the guys again and see them again. So it nice to have the experience and be around them again.

Q. With Jimmy here from the start, how much of an impact can that make? What do you expect the vibe to be like with him from the start of training camp?

GUI SANTOS: I think it will make a lot of difference. You can see how good we were when we had him in the middle of the season. I would say it's not a great way to get him during the middle of the season. He got to know all the players like in the middle of the season.

So to have him since the beginning of the season would be nice, especially last year, if I'm not wrong, I think we were 26-8 when Jimmy, Draymond and Steph played together. So I think we're in a great spot because we have him since the beginning of the season.

Q. Having Steph on the team and seeing what he's been able to do off the court in terms of his conditioning, his workouts, all that stuff, being around him, does that have any effect on what you do over the summer, seeing a guy like that being able to play into his late 30s at that level?

GUI SANTOS: Definitely. Like you said, when you see a guy like Steph working out, I think he's 37, right, and you see him working more than guys that's 20, and his physical is amazing. So you just say, like, yeah, I got to work more and more. So when I get that age, I will be good like him. But that's impossible but will try our best.
