It isn’t a name to fill the Washington Wizards’ vacant general manager position, but new Monumental Basketball President Michael Winger has made his first hire. Former Atlanta Hawks executive Travis Schlenk will serve as the SVP of player personnel.
Schlenk was a no longer a part of Atlanta’s organization and was free to join another team.
From the beginning of his tenure in 2017, Schlenk had overseen the rebuilding of the Hawks, an arc that included drafting two-time all-star Trae Young and current Sacramento Kings sharpshooter Kevin Huerter and culminated in the franchise’s second trip to the Eastern Conference finals in 2021. Before his time in Atlanta, Schlenk worked for 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, the last five of which he spent as an assistant general manager under two-time executive of the year Bob Myers. In that role, he managed all of the Warriors’ day-to-day basketball operations. Before then, he was the Warriors’ director of player personnel.Aside from Schlenk’s hiring, turnover on the Wizards’ coaching staff at the assistant level has already begun.
ESPN reported earlier Thursday that assistant coach Ryan Richman accepted a coaching job in Japan after spending a decade with the Wizards’ organization. In May, the team did not renew the contracts of assistant Alex McLean, the former director of player development, and Dean Oliver, who specialized in analytics.
