After graduating Sean played on the United States Junior Olympic Team. Sean was privileged to
have been able to compete against teams like Canada and Cuba. The team made it to the gold
medal game losing a nail biter to Cuba.
Sean also played for the Legion A team for three years. During his time the team won the State
Title all 3 years and even won the Regional Title after his Junior year.
Sean made the bold move of telling the professional scouts that he wanted to attend college
before he began his pro career. While not unheard of this was certainly a refreshing change
from the "get the money now mentality" that is the norm.
Sean is currently playing at Stanford. He was named 1st team All Pac-10 as a Sophomore and is
on the Brooks Wallace Award Watch List for 2008 which is for only the top players in the entire
country. Sean projects to be drafted fairly high in the June draft.
