Qyntel Deon Woods (born February 16, 1981) is an American professional basketball player for Cholet Basket of the LNB Pro A. Mainly a small forward, he can play as a shooting guard on occasion.
He was born in Memphis and grew up in the Mallory Heights neighborhood. After attending Carver High School, and having one season each at Moberly Area Community College and Northeast Mississippi Community College, Woods was selected by the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers with the 21st pick of the 2002 NBA draft. Coming out of college, Woods was known to pro scouts as a player with exceptional potential (sometimes compared to Tracy McGrady), but with a history of off-court problems.
He was an early entry candidate in the 2002 Draft, and committed to the University of Memphis before making himself available for selection.
In his first two seasons with the Trail Blazers, Woods played in 115 games (53 and 62 respectively), averaging 2.4 and 3.6 points per game and appearing sparingly in the 2003 postseason. The 2004–05 season was packed with off-court trouble for Woods, as he was charged with animal cruelty following an investigation. He pleaded guilty to first-degree animal abuse for staging dog fights in his house, some involving his pit bull named Hollywood. Both Hollywood and Woods' other pit bull, Sugar, were confiscated, and Woods was given 80 hours of community service and also agreed to donate $10,000 to the Oregon Humane Society.
