Ajay Mitchell, former OKC Thunder guard and UC Santa Barbara standout who won Player of the Year before his NBA draft, is returning to his alma mater as its new general manager — not to coach, but to advise, mentor, and elevate the program. He’s committed to giving back to the school that shaped him, helping current players grow both on and off the court while boosting the program’s profile and donor connections. This move follows a growing trend of NBA stars investing in their college roots — like Trae Young — and comes as UCSB looks to build on its recent NCAA tournament run. With Mitchell’s insider knowledge of elite-level success, the future looks promising for the Gauchos.
