While Michael Jordan has taken a very different, much-publicized new position this week, former Rockets and University of Houston star Clyde Drexler also has found a new gig in the NBA.

Drexler has taken a position as a consultant/aide to Denver Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe, a friend from their playing days with the Portland Trail Blazers, a source familiar with the hiring said Wednesday.

While Drexler's exact title and duties have not been determined, he has been interested in obtaining NBA front-office experience since his two-year term coaching at his alma mater ended after the 1999-2000 season.
