Andre Rashawd Barrett (born February 21, 1982 in the Bronx, New York) is an American professional basketball player. Since 2004, he has played for numerous teams in both the NBA and its affiliate, the D-League.
Barrett was undrafted following a career at Seton Hall University, and began his professional career signing prior to the start of the 2004-05 National Basketball Association season as a free agent with the New York Knicks for three weeks before being waived (pre-season),[1] and then signing with the Houston Rockets, going on to play for the Orlando Magic.
