Qyntel Deon Woods (born February 16, 1981) is an American former professional basketball player. He played mainly at the small forward position, but he also played at the shooting guard position, on occasion.

Early life and college career

Woods was born in Memphis, and grew up in the Mallory Heights neighborhood. After attending Carver High School, he spent one season of college basketball each at Moberly Area Community College and Northeast Mississippi Community College. Coming out of college, Woods was known to pro scouts as a player with exceptional potential (and was sometimes compared to Tracy McGrady), but with a history of off-court problems. He was an early entry candidate in the 2002 NBA draft, and he had committed to play at the University of Memphis, before making himself available for draft selection.

Professional career

NBA

Woods was selected by the

Humane Society.[1]

In response to these events, the Trail Blazers suspended and eventually released Woods, in a settlement that involved pay withheld from Woods in 2004–05, when he was supposed to be paid $1.1 million for the third year of a three-year contract. The Trail Blazers kept about $500,000, said spokesman Art Sasse. Upon finally leaving Portland in January 2005, Woods subsequently joined the

playoffs. He was part of a 13-player mega deal that sent him to the Boston Celtics, on August 2, 2005. He ended up being waived by the Celtics, after having played in only three exhibition games with the team, and he was subsequently signed by the New York Knicks
, on December 6, 2005.

Woods' final NBA game was on April 19, 2006 in a 90–83 win over the

New Jersey Nets
where he recorded 2 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

He played more under then Knicks head coach

Bakersfield Jam
.

Europe

Woods signed a two-year contract with

Olympiacos on July 16, 2007.[2] In 10 appearances in the Greek League regular season, he averaged 12.5 points per game in 26.3 minutes per game.[3] In the Greek League's 2007–08 playoffs, his numbers went down (8.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, in 20.7 minutes per game).[4]

Woods was caught using

marijuana during the Greek League finals, and thus committed a breach of his contract, which led to Olympiacos terminating the final year of his deal. Subsequently, he signed with the Italian league's Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna, after being released by Olympiacos.[5]

Woods played with

Polish League MVP
award.

In November 2010, Woods signed a one-year contract with the Russian club

Lagun Aro GBC
of Spain.

On July 8, 2013, Woods signed with the French club Le Mans Sarthe Basket.[10] On September 5, 2013, he left Le Mans, after he failed to pass the team's physical, due to a knee injury.[11] In August, 2014 Woods signed with AZS Koszalin, of the Polish Basketball League. On July 16, 2015, Woods signed with the French club Cholet Basket.[12] On October 15, 2017, Woods signed with AZS Koszalin, returning to the club for a second stint.[13] Washed
