In today’s episode of the Sports Business Classroom Audio Experience, we sat down with Wes Wilcox, Assistant General Manager of the Sacramento Kings, live on the concourse from the SBC Studio set during the 2022 NBA2K23 Summer League in Las Vegas.

In this episode, we discuss:


* Delivering big on the smallest tasks
* Building trust in a front office
* Being comfortable in a position that’s often uncomfortable
* A past SBC student’s journey breaking into the Sacramento Kings’ Basketball Ops department


Wes Wilcox enters his third season with the Sacramento Kings as Assistant General Manager. Wilcox supports General Manager Monte McNair in all facets of front office operations including roster construction, strategy, and player evaluation.



Wes comes to Sacramento with nearly 20 years of experience in the NBA, including serving as General Manager (2015-17) and Assistant General Manager (2012-15) of the Atlanta Hawks, Director of Player Personnel for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the first General Manager of the Cavs’ NBA Development League team, the Canton Charge.



Wes started his career in the roles of Advance Scout, College Scout, Pro Personnel Scout, and Assistant Coach with the Cavaliers and as an Intern with the Miami Heat in their scouting and video department. Wes went to school at Cal State Fullerton and was the men’s basketball student manager for the 2000-01 season.
