About Tom Sewell

Born 1962. Tom Sewell is an American basketball player.

Tom Sewell (born March 11, 1962) is an American former professional basketball player. He played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the Washington Bullets during the 1984–85 season.

Biography Born in Pensacola, Florida and a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, Sewell played collegiately with the Cardinals of Lamar University for three years, averaging 22.9 points per game as a junior.

Sewell was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 22nd overall pick in the 1984 NBA draft. The 76ers, eager to offer a long-term deal to Charles Barkley (whom they had selected with the #5 pick they had previously obtained from the San Diego/Los Angeles Clippers) immediately traded Sewell to the Washington Bullets for a 1988 pick (which was later traded back to the Bullets who used it to select Harvey Grant ).
