Brad Stevens comes in sixth overall in 2022 NBA Executive of the Year voting

by

The NBA revealed the voting results for their annual 2021-22 NBA Basketball Executive of the Year award this past Thursday afternoon, with current Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens coming in sixth overall in the voting.

This year’s award was won by Zach Kleiman of the Memphis Grizzlies (85 total points), with Koby Altman of the Cleveland Cavaliers (27 total points), Arturus Karnisovas of the Chicago Bulls (27 total points), James Jones of the Phoenix Suns (26 total points), and Pat Riley (26 total points) of the Miami Heat coming in ahead of the Celtics president in that order.

Unlike most such end-of-the-year hardware that is voted on by panels of select national media members and NBA broadcasters, this particular league award is voted on by league executives themselves.

Certainly farther than Celtics would have liked at sixth overall among voters, that’s an auspicious start for a team president on their first season in the role.
