Who is Danny Ferry?

Daniel John Willard "Danny" Ferry is the current General Manager of the Atlanta Hawks and a retired American professional basketball player. He is also the former Vice President of Basketball Operations for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association. Considered one of the best high school basketball athletes in the country from the class of 1985, Danny Ferry was Parade Magazine's prep Player of the Year and one of the most highly recruited high school seniors in the nation before committing to Duke University. Known for his superb outside shooting, strong rebounding abilities and full-court vision while in college, Ferry's talents on the court likened him to that of a younger Larry Bird during his career with the three-time Final Four-bound Duke Blue Devils. The consensus All-American standout left Duke setting many school records while earning several national player of the year awards as one of the country's most celebrated college basketball athletes during his senior year.
