Last season, dos Santos sparked Ulm to a sensational German League title win.

Ulm became the first German League club to win the championship from the 7th seed. The team got to defeat the squads placed in first (ALBA), third (Bayern), and fourth (Bonn) positions on the way to the trophy.

The Brazilian guard averaged 16.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 7.0 assists over four games, including 25 points and eight assists in the series-deciding Game 4.

Dos Santos is the first player from Brazil to win the German League Finals MVP, which has been handed out since 2005.

Last season, the 1.75-meter point guard started all 66 games in the German League, EuroCup, and German Cup, scoring 944 points in all competitions with a three-point percentage of 39.1%.

In EuroCup, he posted 13.0 points (49.2% 2P, 39.1% 3P), 3.0 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 17.6 PIR on average.

This July, he showcased his skills in the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 8.3 points (44.4% 3P), 3.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 19 minutes for the Chicago Bulls.
