Kings general manager Monte McNair was named NBA Basketball Executive of the Year on Wednesday after constructing the team that ended the franchise’s 16-year playoff drought.

McNair was a landslide winner with 98 total points. He received 16 first-place votes, five second-place votes and three third-place votes from a panel of team basketball executives across the NBA.

Koby Altman of the Cleveland Cavaliers was second with 63 points. Justin Zanik of the Utah Jazz and Calvin Booth of the Denver Nuggets tied for third with 20 points.

McNair is the first person from the Kings organization to win the award since Geoff Petrie in 2000-01.

McNair is the latest member of the Kings organization to be honored for his work in Sacramento after the team made its first playoff appearance since 2006. After going 30-52 last season, the Kings won 48 games to win the Pacific Division and secure the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference before losing a seven-game series against the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

Kings coach Mike Brown was recently named NBA Coach of the Year. Brown was the first-ever unanimous winner of the award after receiving all 100 first-place votes from a panel of journalists and broadcasters who cover the league. Brown was also named National Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year.

Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox was named the inaugural winner of the Jerry West Clutch Player of the Year award. Fox and center Domantas Sabonis were chosen to participate in the NBA All-Star game in February. Both players received votes for MVP with Sabonis finishing seventh and Fox 11th.

In addition, Keegan Murray finished fifth in Rookie of the Year voting and Malik Monk finished fifth in Sixth Man of the Year voting.

In March, Stockton Kings general manager Paul Johnson was named G League Executive of the Year after his team went 25-7 to post the league’s best regular-season record.

McNair and assistant general manager Wes Wilcox have done a masterful job of reconstructing the Kings roster and coaching staff over their first three years in Sacramento. They made the blockbuster trade to acquire Sabonis in a deal that sent Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield to the Indiana Pacers last season, and they didn’t stop there.

Last summer, in a span of a few short weeks, the Kings hired Brown, drafted Murray, traded for Kevin Huerter and signed Monk in free agency. The results were extraordinary as the Kings posted the highest offensive rating (119.4) and led the league in scoring (120.7 ppg) while ending the longest playoff drought in NBA history after 16 consecutive losing seasons.
