Lance Terrell McIntyre (born October 18, 1977) is a retired American professional basketball player. Standing at 5'9¼" (1.76 m), he played at the point guard position. A two-time All-Euroleague First Team selection, he reached the Euroleague Final Four in 2008 with Montepaschi Siena.
McIntyre played college basketball for Clemson University's basketball team, the Clemson Tigers. The diminutive guard left his mark on the history books of the college and is still considered one of its best players of all-time. McIntyre is the second leading scorer in the history of Clemson basketball. As a freshman, he averaged 12.7 points and 3 assists per game. As a Sophomore, McIntyre became the leading guard for Clemson, averaging 16.4 points and 4.4 assists per game. The next year, as a Junior, he averaged 14 points per game and improved his shooting percentage dramatically, jumping from 42% from the field to 50% from the field. He also improved his defense by adding some weight, which helped him to get more steals (2 per game) and rebounds (3 per game). McIntyre had his best year at Clemson as a senior. He was able to lead Clemson to the final game of the 1999 National Invitation Tournament and he also performed excellently on the stat sheets. McIntyre scored 18 points, dished 5.3 assists and made almost three 3 pointers per game (40%) in his senior season.
After he went undrafted in the 1999 NBA Draft, McIntyre decided to play overseas. His first stop was the French Pro A club Gravelines. He played only 14 games for the French club. His averages were 19 points (53% field goals, 2.2 made 3s), 5.6 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game. After that year, McIntyre moved to the German League in order to play for the small club of Braunschweig. McIntyre played 15 games with Braunschweig, averaging 18.5 points and 7 assists per game.
