Other honours include being chosen as a member of the Australian team that competed at the 2003 World University Summer Games in Korea, and was also chosen for the Commonwealth Games in 2006, but did not get selected for the final team. He also led the NBL in three-point shooting % in the 2004-05 season, with an average of 47%.

In the 2007 and 2008 off-seasons, he played in New Zealand's National Basketball League for the Harbour Heat. In 2007, he signed a new three-year contract with the Breakers that will keep him based in Auckland until 2009/10.
