In his new role as the Mavericks general manager, Schmitz will help in "all areas of basketball operations including scouting, player personnel, strategic planning and organizational collaboration across departments." The hire is one of the first by Ujiri, who officially joined Dallas as team president and alternative governor last week.
“Joining the Dallas Mavericks is an incredible opportunity,” said Schmitz. “I have tremendous respect for Masai, this ownership group and the vision they have for the future of this franchise. I’m excited to get to work alongside the talented people already in place and help build a championship-caliber organization.” Schmitz joined the Blazers in May of 2022 after serving as a draft analyst for ESPN since 2017. He has also worked as an assistant coach for the Ugandan national team since 2018 and traveled extensively around the globe as a scout for DraftExpress since 2012. Schmitz worked as a video coordinator for the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA G League during the 2012-13 season. He is a 2012 graduate of the University of Arizona.
