Andre Stringer (born December 4, 1991) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Island Storm of the NBL Canada. He played college basketball for LSU.
Stringer's brother Micheal Stringer played college basketball at Richmond.[1] Stringer attended Forest Hill High School in Jackson, Mississippi. In his career he scored over 2,400 points and was named the Gatorade Player of the Year twice in Mississippi. He was named Mississippi Mr. Basketball in 2010. Stringer joined Jalen Courtney, Ralston Turner and Matt Derenbecker in LSU coach Trent Johnson's first recruiting class.[2]
College career
As a freshman, Stringer averaged 15.2 points per game through the first 10 games. He became well known for hitting long range threes from behind the NBA line, an adaption to his lack of height. Stringer used his quickness to split defenders on double teams and led the team in assists.[1] However, he missed double digit scoring in seven of LSU's last 10 games as a freshman.[3] Stringer recorded 18 points, four assists and three steals in an 80–67 win over Chattanooga on December 20, 2012, after Anthony Hickey was suspended.[4] As a junior, he averaged 10.9 points per game.[5] Stringer made 40.9% of his three-pointers as a junior and developed as an on-ball defender.[2] He averaged 11.8 points and 2.6 assists per game as a senior and led the team to a NIT appearance.[6] He finished his LSU career in the top three in 3-pointers made, the top-10 in assists and top 20 in steals.[2] Stringer scored 1,365 career points for the Tigers.[7]
