Larry Harris

Larry Harris served as the General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks from 2003 until March 19, 2008. He is the son of former National Basketball Association (NBA) coach, and current Dallas Mavericks Assistant Coach Del Harris. Harris was promoted through the ranks of the Bucks personnel department over the course of his career, and was chosen by Bucks owner Herb Kohl to succeed departing GM Ernie Grunfeld in 2003. Harris' most notable moves included the drafting of Australian Center Andrew Bogut with the first pick in the 2005 NBA Draft, re-signing star guard Michael Redd, and drafting Chinese basketball star Yi Jianlian with the 2007 NBA Draft's 6th overall pick, despite attempts by Yi's handlers to prevent such a scenario. Harris played four years of college basketball for the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds, where he graduated with a degree in mathematics. Larry and his ex-wife, JoLayne, have two children, Zachary and Janaya.
