Youngest Player Turned GM? Next Reality TV Star? Jared Jeffries Is Making Moves

But Jeffries, 31, wanted to get an early start on his preferred post-playing career path: to follow in the footsteps of Grunwald and Houston. So this week, Jeffries accepted an entry-level pro personnel position with the Denver Nuggets. He starts on Sept. 26.

“I talk to Glen a lot, Allan, (Brooklyn Nets GM) Billy King,” Jeffries told Bleacher Report. “A lot of these guys that I’ve talked to in the past do what I wanted to do. I really got lucky, man, to have this situation come about, instead of just waiting out for the right (playing) situation. This a chance where I can be proactive my whole life.”

Jeffries said his “goal is to be the youngest former player GM ever.” He has about three years to go down in the history books.

The youngest to accomplish the feat is Wayne Embry, who also was the first African-American NBA GM at 35 when he joined the Milwaukee Bucks. Rod Thorn is right behind him, as he became the GM of the Chicago Bulls at 37 in 1978. While Rick Sund was named GM of the expansion Dallas Mavericks in 1979 at 28 years old, he had not played in the league.
