Fresh off his impressive scouting job for the gold-medal-winning U.S. men’s basketball team, Suns advance scout Todd Quinter was promoted to the title of Director of Player Personnel.

Video scouting coordinator Noel Gillespie was also promoted, taking Quinter’s former job as advance scout.

Quinter has been with the Suns for 23 years, the last 15 as an advance scout, and has taken on an assistant coach’s title for the past two seasons. He will now direct the Suns’ scouting department and assist Suns senior vice president of basketball operations David Griffin in all aspects of draft preparation.

It was at Quinter’s urging, after seeing him play extensively in Europe, that the Suns traded for and signed Goran Dragic this summer to serve as the backup point guard.

Suns general manager Steve Kerr said: “Todd has done a terrific job for this organization over the past 22 years, both as an advance scout and as a talent evaluator. His knowledge of both the NBA and the international game will be critical for us as we look to sustain the success of our franchise.
