[Ava Wallace] Before Michael Winger and GM Will Dawkins’ intro presser today, another announcement on the Wizards’ revamped front office: John Thompson III was promoted to the senior vice president of Monumental Basketball. JT3 was a crucial part of Ted Leonsis’s exec searches last month.

> Per the team, Thompson “will be focused on exploring and implementing best practices for the Wizards, Mystics and Go-Go while ensuring accountability for excellence across the organization.”
> Dawkins = day-to-day Wiz ops, oversees the Go-Go
> Schlenk = player personnel evaluations
I don’t understand what that job description means in a practical sense, but okay. If he was the guy who encouraged Ted to hire Winger/Dawkins/Schlenk and adopt a rebuild mentality, then he’s fine by me.

So they’re going from no leadership to so many leaders they’ll have paralysis analysis.
