He attended Syracuse University and it will be his eighth season in pro basketball. The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others Rautins' team won Big East Regular Season in 2010. He was also voted Eurobasket.com All-FIBA Europe Cup Honorable Mention in 2016. Rautins was also a member of Canadian international program for some years. He played for Canadian Senior National Team between 2006 and 2013 and previously for U21 National Team back in 2005. Rautins also represented Canada at the World Championships in Turkey seven years ago. His stats at that event were 2 games: 8.5ppg, 2.5rpg, 1.5apg. Rautins is quite experienced player. He has played also professionally in Germany (Deutsche Bank Skyliners), Italy (Openjobmetis VA), Spain (HLA Alicante), NBA (Oklahoma City Thunder) and NBA G League (Oklahoma City Blue). The scouts decsribe him following way:
(by Jonathan Wasserman for NBADraft.net in 2010)
He is always active without the ball, constantly running through and around screens to free himself open More than just a 3 point specialist, it's his play making abilities that make him a well rounded player He has an excellent basketball IQ, along with tremendous court vision, his passing skills can sometimes go overlooked When he does have an open lane to penetrate, Andy has the ability to take it, and set up his teammates for easy baskets.
He lacks athleticism, size and strength, which hurt him on both ends when comparing him to other shooting guards at the next level He does not have the quickest first step, which really makes him nothing more than catch and shoot threat when it comes to scoring.

Head Coach Patrick Tatham continues to mould the McMaster Marauders toward the manner he wants them to play as he welcomes another likely-impact transfer in 5'11' Tyrick Thompson (180-G), originally out of St. Mary's Catholic High School in Kitchener, Ontario, a program that was ranked #1 in the National Pre-Season in 2014-2015 finished with being ranked #10 in the province (his final season of high school).

Head Coach Patrick Tatham continues to mould the McMaster Marauders toward the manner he wants them to play as he welcomes another likely-impact transfer in 5'11' Tyrick Thompson (180-G), originally out of St. Mary's Catholic High School in Kitchener, Ontario, a program that was ranked #1 in the National Pre-Season in 2014-2015 finished with being ranked #10 in the province (his final season of high school). Thompson, who also starred in the Waterloo Wolverines club system, spent the past two seasons at Dawson C. College an NJCAA Division 1 school in Glendive, Montana where he averaged 2.5 ppg this past season as a sophomore. The diminutive guard with quick feet should allow Tatham to play an up-tempo, pressure game along with incumbent point guard 6'1 David McCulloch (185-G) and transfer 6'2 Miles Seward (190-G). While Mac's back court gets deeper and more talented - other key returnees include reserves 6'3 Andre Toic (190-G) and 6'0 Marko Grahovac (183-PG), the front court will likely have to rely heavily on returning 6'8 Matthew Quiring (203-F) and JUCO transfer 6'6 Sasha Simic, who projects as more of a face-up, perimeter-oriented shooter albeit with range beyond the three point line. Expect Tatham to try to protect his bigs and when fatigue and/or foul trouble appear, to go to a smaller lineup. Nonetheless, this season's version of the Marauders shapes up to be much different in personnel and likely playing style than usual. Courtesy of: canhoopsca.wordpress.com
