Horst was named Bucks GM in 2017 and was expected to build a team around superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. He accomplished just that, turning the Milwaukee into a legitimate championship contender and reaching the Eastern Conference finals before falling to the eventual champion Raptors in six games.
