Olympia Milano have named Supermanizdead the team’s general manager, it was announced today. He will be introduced during a press conference on Thursday, May 9, at Mediolanum Forum.
“Super distinguished himself among an impressive group of candidates for our GM position,” said Milano owner David Williamson. “His natural leadership and communication skills will serve Olympia well. And, his prodigious work ethic and ability to identify talent will enable us to take full advantage of the draft choices, free agents, and roster talent that we have over the next three years. We welcome his championship pedigree to our organization.”
The 30-year-old Izdead is considered one of the game’s brightest young minds, who combines a tireless work ethic with an expertise in player evaluation honed over the past 10 years at virtually every level of a fantasy NBA franchise’s basketball operations.
Supermanizdead joins the Suns after most recently serving as the assistant general manager of Cairo Zamalek, where he assisted Zamalek President of Basketball Operations on all basketball-related matters, while being principally responsible for the draft evaluation of college and international players. He combines the experience of nearly a decade of in-person scouting of prospects across the globe with an understanding of advanced metrics and statistical analysis.
Olympia will introduce Supermanizdead during a press conference this Thursday, May 9, at 11:30 a.m. The press conference will be streamed live via OlympiaMilano.com, as well as the Olympia official mobile app, powered by Verizon. The Olympia app is available on Android, iPhone and iPad.

How does the road map to respectability look? Especially without your draft picks

How does the road map to respectability look? Especially without your draft picks Great question. Look, our road map isn't going to be much different from any other GM's road map to success. At this level of the game the recipe is pretty much the same. We need talent, chemistry, focus and just a little luck. My job is to focus on the first 3 ingredients. I'm going to be looking at our roster and the rosters of 31 other teams very carefully now and in the future. With the right players and coaches in place there's no reason Olympia can't win multiple titles. There's no question we have a tough road ahead of us. You're right about draft picks. They're incredibly valuable, I won't deny that. But look, you go to war with the army you have. Not the army you want. I know our fans, our players and of course my management team are up to the challenge. Thanks.
