Jeremy Atkinson’s Bulldog blueprint: rebounding, rim pressure, and rugged two-way value
In the 2011-12 season, Jeremy Atkinson was UNC Asheville’s fourth-leading scorer at 11.7 points per game and top rebounder at 6.6 rebounds per game, while also leading the team with 69 offensive rebounds and shooting 54.6% from the field[1][6]. His game translates because he does the dirty work that wins possessions: he’s physical around the rim, can stretch defenses with a three-pointer, and showed big-moment toughness by making the Big South All-Tournament team[1][6]. If a team wants a forward who brings energy, efficiency, and board-crashing edge, he’s a very good fit[1][6].
