Travis Schlenk


Travis Schlenk (born 1976-77) is the general manager of the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA. Prior to joining the Hawks in May 2017, Schlenk was the assistant general manager of the Golden State Warriors, having joined that team prior to the 2004-05 season as a video scout. He has also worked as a video coordinator for the Miami Heat from 1999 to 2003, and as Director of Basketball Operations for the University of Georgia basketball program from 1998 to 1999.

During his tenure with the Warriors, Schlenk developed a reputation for evaluating talent, and has been credited for being primarily responsible for identifying Draymond Green, who was picked 35th in the second round of the 2012 NBA draft, but has since developed into a defensive mastermind for the Warriors, even winning the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2017.

Schlenk is a native of Selden, Kansas, and holds a Master of Education degree from Wichita State University.
