"You look for IQ and intelligence ... someone with basketball knowledge and experience and sort of a gut-level understanding of the game.

"And she passed with flying colors.
"Winning is the foundation of this organization," Nyanin said. "So why not us, and it will be us. I'm just excited to get started.", most recently as assistant general manager. She also previously served as director of basketball operations and manager of basketball operations there, roles she anticipates will help her in the Bay Area.
Nyanin's extensive basketball background also includes stints with USA Basketball as assistant director of the women's national team as well as serving as the FIBA Americas World Cup Qualifier Technical Delegate and Manager.
