Dunleavy, a former player for the Warriors from the 2002 draft class, he played for five seasons with the team before being traded to the Indiana Pacers. After retiring, he joined the Warriors as a pro scout and subsequently became an assistant general manager. He received a promotion to his current role in 2021.
