COLUMBIA, Mo. — Sean East II handled the scoring.
It was a familiar result for the former Missouri point guard, who led the Tigers in scoring through a challenging 2023-2024 season. But when it happened at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament a few weeks ago, East became a bucket-getter on a bigger stage.
East is pushing for a spot in the ranks of professional basketball players after dominating at the junior college level and settling in as the leader of last season’s Mizzou team. He’s an older prospect, with five years of college hoops experience under his belt, making him the same age as Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, for example.
