The Washington Wizards finally have their general manager. According to reports, the Wizards are bringing in OKC executive Will Dawkins to work under new president Michael Winger as the general manager.
Dawkins has worked with the Oklahoma City Thunder in a variety of front-office positions since 2009, including as a video coordinator, scout, and vice president of basketball operations. At Thunder, he was working directly with Sam Presti, one of the most respected general managers in the NBA. He also overlapped with Michael Winger between 2010 and 2017. The fact that the two worked together for seven years suggests a seamless transition to the new front office hierarchy.
