If you look at many projected 10-man rotations that fans and analysts propose for the Golden State Warriors on social media, few will include young forward Gui Santos as part of the mix.
That's somewhat surprising given the trust that Santos earned from Steve Kerr at times last season, but is also the reality of a veteran team looking to push toward another deep playoff run. That's not to say that Santos couldn't push himself into different lineups, particularly depening on what happens in the ongoing saga of Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency.

If there's one player who should be interested in the outcome of this Kuminga situation, it's Santos as a fellow young forward whose role and minutes could be affected heading into next season.
