You can add Mike Dunleavy Jr. to the list of former duke players taking extremely prominent roles in NBA front offices. He was just promoted from being a scout to being the assistant general manager of the Warriors.

i'm not in touch enough to be able to do this, but can someone compile a list of Duke alumni who are in the non-player side of the NBA? GMs, asst GMs, conditioning coaches, scouts, etc....

From the top of my head (I'm sure others will correct/add to this list):

Adam Silver, commish
Elton Brand - GM, 76'ers
Trajan Langdon - GM, Pelicans
Danny Ferry - was the GM of the Cavs, now he's in a front office role with another team?
Shane Battier - does something with scouting and analytics for the Heat
Lindsey Harding - some sort of assistant coach with the 76'ers

That's awesome news about Dunleavy. I remember him appearing in one of the Earn Everything videos, or maybe it was a DBP video, and thinking he would likely be moving up the ranks given his pedigree.

The DukeMBB social media juggernaut made a graphic that had a full list sometime this year, but I haven’t been able to find it. It must have been an Instagram story. I actually DM’d them on Instagram to ask about it, but haven’t gotten a response.
