Former star LSU player, 11-year pro and longtime NBA executive, Ronald Dupree, will join Matt McMahon’s staff in the newly created position of General Manager. Dupree has served since 2017 as a scout for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks and since the 2023-24 season has been the Director of Global Scouting for the franchise.
Dupree has used his firsthand experience in his time with the Bucks to create a deeper understanding for the team of player development, departmental collaboration, data analysis, global talent evaluation, and strategic planning.
“I am thrilled to announce Ronald Dupree as the first General Manager of the LSU basketball program,” said Coach McMahon. “This is a special day as we welcome Ronald and his family home to LSU. As the college basketball landscape changes, it was important to add a star to our staff from the NBA’s front office world. Ronald’s experience in roster construction, player evaluation, player development, and much more will add great value to our players, future recruits, staff, and our program.”
Dupree played at LSU from 1999-2003 under then LSU Coach Jon Brady.
