The Milwaukee Bucks plan to hire Utah Jazz assistant general manager Justin Zanik to become the team's general manager-in waiting, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Zanik will join Milwaukee in a similar capacity until eventually succeeding current Bucks general manager John Hammond, who has one year remaining on his contract.
ESPN.com's Marc Stein confirmed the news:
