Eversley joins executive vice president of
basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas in the newly formed
power structure of the Bulls.
"I set out to find a General Manager who complemented my vision
and values, and who could help implement them at the Bulls in a
fresh way. Marc's background and skills do exactly that," said
Karnisovas. "He has a history of building strong relationships
across the board, identifying talent at organizations that have
had success during his time there, and the necessary insight for
building a network that will be an asset to our program. He's
ready for this next step in his career, and I'm looking forward
to working with him to build the Bulls back into a perennial
contender."
Eversley has 14 years in NBA personnel under his belt with the
Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers,
where he was senior vice president of player personnel.
With the 76ers, Eversley oversaw player personnel and talent
evaluation. He was also involved in Philadelphia's recruiting of
free agents and the decision-making process.
"Becoming a general manger in the NBA and joining the Chicago
Bulls family is a dream come true," said Eversley. "I'm grateful
to be working with someone like Arturas who shares my level of
passion and commitment to winning basketball, and having both
come from successful programs, we will put in the work and all
it entails to become a sustainable and winning team. I want to
thank Arturas, as well as Jerry and Michael Reinsdorf, for
trusting in my leadership abilities to move this iconic
franchise forward."
Prior to entering the NBA personnel realm, Eversley spent five
years at Nike's world headquarters in Oregon as its NBA Player
Relationship Manager.
