The Denver Nuggets have named Ben Tenzer as the executive vice president of basketball operations and hired Minnesota Timberwolves executive Jon Wallace as the franchise's new executive vice president of player personnel.
Both will report to Josh Kroenke.
After the late season firings of coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, the Nuggets hired David Adelman and now named Tenzer and Wallace as the heads of their newly restructured basketball leadership group.
"We are extremely excited to announce Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace as our Executive Vice Presidents who will oversee the front office and lead the charge into this next chapter of Denver Nuggets basketball," said Nuggets owner E. Stanley Kroenke in a statement. "We have the utmost confidence in both Ben and Jon. They have been integral parts of our team already, so we know their dedication and hard work first-hand and we're looking forward to their continued growth and the vision they have for this team."
The Nuggets also interviewed Miami Heat vice president of player personnel Eric Amsler and Golden State Warriors director of basketball operations Chuck Hayes for roles in their front office, sources said.
