Joe Furstinger brings efficient inside production and veteran Lobo toughness
In the 2017-18 season, Joe Furstinger was a steady New Mexico frontcourt piece, averaging 10.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 blocks while shooting 55.5% from the field and 80.2% at the line[2][6]. His appeal goes beyond the box score: he was a high-motor, glue-guy forward who could rebound, protect the rim, and pass well for a big, with multiple Lobo notes highlighting his assist instincts and defensive activity[2][3]. For a team, that means an efficient, versatile forward who plays with effort and does a little bit of everything without needing the ball to dominate.
