The University of Utah is targeting veteran NBA front office executive Wes Wilcox to be the school's men's basketball general manager, sources told ESPN.
A deal is expected to come together in the near future. It would mark the highest-ranking sitting NBA front office member to take a college front office job.
Wilcox is the assistant general manager of the Sacramento Kings, and his nearly two decades in the NBA includes a stint as the general manager of the Atlanta Hawks from 2015-17. He also worked as that franchise's assistant general manager from 2012-15.
