Jameel McKay (born September 14, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Fuel Masters of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He played two seasons of college basketball for Iowa State, where as a junior in 2014–15, he was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year when he averaged 2.4 blocked shots per game.
After high school, McKay attended Indian Hills Community College for two years, becoming the first player in school history to be named NJCAA First-Team All-American twice. He helped the Warriors go 59–8 during his two years on the team, and played in the national tournament in 2011–12 where he was named to the all-tournament team. He was a two-time first-team all-region pick, and finished his career with 1,022 points, averaging 16.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. He scored in double-figures in all but four games in his career (59-of-63).
McKay committed to Marquette for the 2013–14 season. However, in October 2013, he left Marquette before playing in a game for the Golden Eagles, and the following month, he transferred to Iowa State.
After sitting out the 2013–14 season due to NCAA transfer regulations, McKay joined the Cyclones as a junior for the 2014–15 season. He played in 25 games and made 12 starts in 2014–15 after becoming eligible on December 20, 2014. On February 25, 2015, he scored a season-high 21 points against Baylor. Over three Big 12 tournament games, McKay averaged 9.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, as the Cyclones won their second consecutive Big 12 tournament title. In their first game of the NCAA Tournament, the Cyclones were defeated 60–59 by UAB, as McKay recorded 10 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots in the loss. On the season, he averaged 11.0 points and led the team with 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game. His 59 blocks was the third most by any Iowa State junior, and his 2.4 blocks per game was second among league players in Big 12 games and was the third-best average by any Cyclone in school history, trailing only Kelvin Cato. McKay subsequently earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors.
