Folgueiras was ok at Iowa. He came off the bench and played 20 min/gm. I watched them 4-5 times and thought he should have started - at points he looked really good, like what we wanted Jelavic to be. Still, his 3pt. shooting, 2Pt. attempts, and rebounding numbers were disappointing. I know some will say it was the jump up to the Big Ten, but I don't think that fully explains it. Maybe it had a little bit to do with Iowa's system - very slow and nobody but Stirtz hardly touches the ball. Whatever the reason was, a good coaching staff should be able to figure out whether he underperformed his abilities last season, and if so I think he could be a nice option at PF/C - maybe even a starting PF option.
What about Alvaro Folgueiras as a backup plan at PF?

I believe we tried to sign him from the portal last year. He looked good in the ncaa tournament.
Their coaching staff is better than ours.
We will likely get Freeman or Ransik from the sound of things. AF is a good shooter, but he’s pretty limited otherwise and rumors he is very difficult to play with/ deal with. I actually like his game but I don’t think we end up going in that direction based on where we stand today.
