Milwaukee Bucks General Manager Jon Horst has been named NBA Executive of the Year, the league announced tonight. Horst is just the second General Manager in Bucks history to win the award.
“We congratulate Jon on earning this well-deserved award,” said Bucks owners Wes Edens, Marc Lasry and Jamie Dinan. “Jon has played an instrumental role in building the Bucks into a championship-caliber organization and we are thrilled that his fellow team executives throughout the league recognize his great work.”
In his second season as the Bucks’ General Manager, Horst hired Mike Budenholzer, who was named the NBA’s Coach of the Year tonight and assembled a team that went on to have the best record in the NBA at 60-22.
