Marc Eversley is expected to officially start his first day on the job as new Bulls general manager on Friday.
A job he actually started preparing for well over a decade ago, however.
Whether it was learning the hustle and grind of working for Nike or quickly showing an eye for identifying talent with the Toronto Raptors, Eversley had the make-up of a GM long before new Bulls head of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas decided earlier this week that Eversley would sit in that seat next to him.
But in coming over from the 76ers, Eversley won’t be able to just ease into his new position.
