Bucks GM Jon Horst was named the league’s Executive of the Year at the league’s annual awards show on Monday.
Horst edged out the Nuggets’ Tim Connelly for the honor. Horst collected 72 total points and 10 first-place votes, while Connelly accumulated 69 points and received nine first-place votes. Lawrence Frank of the Clippers (26 points) was third and the Raptors’ Masai Ujiri (21 points) was fourth.
The votes were tabulated after the regular season and undoubtedly Ujiri would have gotten more votes if the postseason was factored in.
Horst, who is just 36 years old, was named GM in June 2017. He made several shrewd moves that helped make the Bucks the league’s premier team during the regular season, including the hiring of Coach of the Year Mike Budenholzer. The signing of center Brook Lopez last summer turned out to be one of the league’s best free agent pickups and he also brought in key reserve Pat Connaughton.
How in the world did Ujiri not win this award??? He made the move not many others in his shoes would have done, and won it all.
Even though it was tallied before post season.
