After a lengthy search process, Jon Horst was announced as the Milwaukee Bucks’ new general manager on Friday. On Monday morning, members of the media assembled to see him officially introduced for his first press conference.
Head coach Jason Kidd, team president Peter Feigin, and players Thon Maker, Jabari Parker, Matthew Dellavedova, Rashad Vaughn and Gary Payton II were among those in attendance, as Horst and one of the team’s co-owners Wes Edens took to the stage.
Horst and Edens addressed a host of questions about what had been a confusing process from the outside, why Horst was seen as the best candidate for the job, the next steps in the team’s collective decision-making process, and much more.
