Sean Areon Dockery (born January 5, 1983) is a former American professional basketball athlete who played in leagues across Canada, France, Romania, Germany, and the United States. Before enrolling at Duke University, Dockery was recognized as one of the leading high school point guards. During his senior year at Duke, he shared the point guard responsibilities with Greg Paulus.

Senior year

During his concluding collegiate season, Dockery posted a shooting percentage of 46.5%, with averages of 7.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and led the team with 1.7 steals per game while starting in 32 out of 36 contests. His total of 194 steals over his college career places him 11th on Duke’s all-time list. One of his most memorable moments includes sinking a half-court buzzer-beater against Virginia Tech at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Professional career

Ahead of the 2006 NBA draft, Dockery took part in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament where he averaged 13.7 points, 8.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. At the Orlando Pre-Draft Camp, despite battling a hip injury, he recorded averages of 3.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.7 steals. Although projected as a possible late second-round selection, Dockery was not drafted and did not appear in any NBA games.

His professional tenure was primarily spent in European basketball circuits before finishing his career with the Edmonton Chill in the International Basketball League. Following his retirement from playing professionally, Dockery returned to Chicago to launch "Dockery University," which specializes in personal fitness training and basketball skill enhancement. In 2016, he participated in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) representing the Midwest Dream Squad, contributing 10 points and one steal over 19 minutes on the court.

Dockery also moved into scouting positions during the NBA seasons of 2016–2017 and 2017–2018, working as an Advance Scout for both the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies.
