The NBA Executive of the Year this season is Bob Meyers of the Golden State Warriors. Building the best team in the league, unsurprisingly, was rewarded by his peers. This award is different from everything else as the voting is kept private and done only by the other executives.
Surprisingly, however, is that New Orleans Pelicans GM Dell Demps finished in tenth with three third place votes. Just one month ago ESPN went about ranking all of the NBA general managers and Demps came in 22nd.
Undoubtedly the run into the playoffs factored into the decision by three different executives to vote for Demps.
