Justin Lorenzo Dentmon (born September 5, 1985) is an American professional basketball player for the Halcones Rojos Veracruz of the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP).

In 2004 Dentmon led his Carbondale Community High School team to a fourth place state finish, during his senior season.

The NCAA men's basketball academic qualifier rules would have sidelined him for one whole season in Normal, which influenced his decision to continue his prep career.

[1] In his freshman year at the University of Washington, Dentmon started in 32 out of 33 games and was named to the All-Pac-10 freshmen team by the league's coaches.

[3] During the 2011–12 season, Dentmon played brief stints with both the San Antonio Spurs[4] and the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association.

Dentmon started in all 40 regular season games he played for the Austin Toros, averaging 22.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 37.2 minutes.

Also named a 2012 NBA D-League All-Star, Dentmon ranked fourth in the league in scoring, finishing with double-digit points in 39 games.

Dentmon turned in one of the best games of his debut Turkish Airlines EuroLeague campaign with a performance index rating of 33 to lead all players in week 6 of league play.

[17] On April 12, Dentmon led his team to an 87–80 victory over Real Madrid in the Lithuanian champs’ final EuroLeague game of the season.

Dentmon scored 36 points on 7-of-11 three-point shooting en route to a performance index rating of 40, which led all players for Round 14 and made him the bwin MVP for the third time this season.

His all-around performance also included 4-of-5 two-point shooting, 7 free throws made without a miss, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

[22][23] In December 2016, he parted ways with Galatasaray and signed with Chinese club Shandong Golden Stars for the rest of the 2016–17 CBA season.
