Team Brazil roster: Meet the underdogs that will play Team USA in the quarterfinals at the Olympics

During the 2024 Paris Olympics, one of the surprise nations to advance past group play was Brazil.

Led by Gui Santos, who was selected by the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Draft, this team relies on its sharpshooting to win games. Team Brazil punched its ticket to the Olympics after winning a qualifying tournament earlier this summer.

Also on the roster are former NBA players such as Marcelinho Huertas, Bruno Caboclo, Cristiano Felicio, and Raul Neto.

Team Brazil will face Team USA in the quarterfinals on August 6 at 3:30 PM ET.
