Jackie Carmichael

Jackie Carmichael - After summer league last year, Carmichael initially landed one of the few spots available to American rookies in the Spanish ACB when he joined Bilbao, but he rather struck out and came back to the D-League with the Iowa Energy. In 39 games there, he averaged 23.3 minutes, 9.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting 49% from the field and 68.8% from the line. Carmichael plays in the paint on both ends, where he rebounds, posts, seals and finishes, and protects the rim quite well while wanting to step out as little as possible. He made quite a few mistakes with the Energy and was quite inconsistent, but another year there might do him wonders.

Carmichael would likely have been drafted were he from a bigger school. He scores around the paint with good touch, rebounds the ball, and protects the rim without fouling. He's big enough, athletic enough, skilled enough, to make the NBA. But he just wasn't seen enough.
