Alec Wintering (born April 26, 1995) is an American basketball player for Palencia Baloncesto of the LEB Oro. Standing at 180 cm (5 ft 11 in), he plays as point guard.[1]

College career

Wintering played four seasons of college basketball with the Portland Pilots.[2] He averaged 14.1 points and 5.2 assists in 110 games with the Pilots.

As a freshman in the 2013-14 season, Wintering was the Pilots' starting point guard for the first 27 games of the season before suffering a leg injury.[3]

Wintering returned to the starting lineup for the Pilots as a sophomore in 2014-15 and set the Pilots' single-season record for assists with 187. His 45.8% three point shooting ranked fifth best in a season in Pilots' history. For his performances over the season, Wintering was named second team all-West Coast Conference.[3]

As a junior in 2015-16 Wintering again improved his production. He scored 18.3 points per game and led the team in points, assists and steals. His 584 points scored ranked second all-time at Portland in a single season. Wintering was named first team all-WCC at season's end.[3]

A repeat performance was expected from Wintering as a senior, and he was named preseason first team all-WCC. He lived up to the billing, scoring 19.5 points and dishing out 5.6 assists per game before a mid-January knee injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. Wintering's final career game for Portland came on January 19, 2017 at San Francisco, when he tore his ACL.[4] Despite missing nearly two months to end the season, Wintering was named honorable mention all-WCC as a senior.[5]
