Mat Ishbia tries to pull an ace out of a deck of jokers

Who is Brian Gregory? It was an inescapable question for many when news broke on May 1 that Brian Gregory would be the new general manager of the Phoenix Suns.

According to Wikipedia, Gregory played basketball on the same Navy team as David Robinson. He then spent time in the college coaching ranks, including as an assistant coach under Tom Izzo at Michigan State while team owner Mat Ishbia was a walk-on there. Gregory joined the Phoenix Suns as vice president of player programming in June 2024.

“Brian has been a valuable member of our front office, playing an integral role in drafting and developing our young players,” Ishbia said in a press release announcing the move.
