Duke great Mike Dunleavy is now the General Manager of the Golden State Warriors. Although he takes over at the end of a dynastic run built around aging stars Seth Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the Warriors are a stable, professionally managed franchise which means it’s a major opportunity.
Dunleavy, who played a key role in Duke’s 2001 national championship, has had a great run with the Warriors so far. He started as a scout in 2018, was promoted to assistant GM in 2019 and now takes over the GM spot as Bob Myers steps aside.
He has a lot of work to do - the draft is in a few days and the Warriors are trying to maintain an elite status with, as noted, an aging core.
