Sean Andrew Marks (born 23 August 1975) is a New Zealand former professional basketball player. He was the first New Zealand-born player to play in the NBA. He is currently the general manager of the Brooklyn Nets.
After attending Rangitoto College in Auckland, he moved to the United States in 1992 to play for the University of California, where he majored in political science, graduating with a BA degree in 1998. He was drafted 44th overall in the 1998 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks and went on to play for the Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs.
In 2000–01, he started the season with Śląsk Wrocław of Poland, and in December 2000 had an unsuccessful ten-day contract (0 games) with the Seattle SuperSonics, returning to his Polish team until the season ended. In 2003–04, while with the Spurs, he did not play a single second due to patella tendonitis.
In the next season while playing for the Spurs he had 10 minutes per game and produced an average of 3 points and 2 rebounds. That year the Spurs won the NBA championship by defeating the Detroit Pistons in seven games.
Marks signed with the Phoenix Suns on 27 July 2006, to a one-year contract, re-signing with the Arizona outfit on 24 July 2007.
On 16 April 2008, during a win over the Portland Trail Blazers in the Suns last regular-season game, Marks scored a "double-double", with 16 points and 13 rebounds, along with 1 steal and 1 block.
Marks later signed with the New Orleans Hornets on 28 August 2008.
