DeAndre' Pierre' Bembry (born July 4, 1994) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for Saint Joseph's University. He was named Atlantic 10 Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year in 2016, becoming the first Hawk to receive the honor since Ahmad Nivins in 2009. He was also named first-team All-Atlantic 10 for the second year in a row and was named to the All-Defensive Team.[1] He was drafted 21st overall in the 2016 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks. He has also played for the Toronto Raptors, Brooklyn Nets, and the Milwaukee Bucks.

High school career

Bembry attended Rocky River High School in Mint Hill, North Carolina before transferring to St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, New Jersey where he averaged 21.8 points and 9.0 rebounds as a senior, earning a New Jersey All-State First Team selection and being named the 2013 Union County Player of the Year.[2]

College career

As a freshman, Bembry won the Atlantic-10 Rookie of the Year award and helped lead the Saint Joseph's Hawks to their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2008 by winning the conference championship. The team also featured future NBA guard Langston Galloway as well as Ronald Roberts and Halil Kanacević.

In Bembry's sophomore season, the Hawks struggled as a result of losing four seniors. However, Bembry was a bright spot as he led the team in scoring (17.7 ppg), rebounds (7.7), assists (3.6), and steals (1.9). He was also named to the A-10's All-Conference First Team.

As a junior, Bembry was again named to the A-10's All-Conference First Team and he won the Atlantic-10 Player of the Year award. He led the Hawks to a second NCAA berth in 3 years after winning the conference championship. In the title game against VCU, Bembry was at his best, scoring 30 points on an extremely efficient 13 for 16 shooting. The Hawks would go on to defeat the Cincinnati Bearcats in the first round before losing a close game to the Oregon Ducks in the Round of 32.
