Alex Kirk brings old-school rim protection and reliable interior scoring for the Lobos
In the 2013-14 season, Alex Kirk was a load at center for New Mexico: he averaged 13.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game while starting all 32 games, and his game had a coach’s-son feel—high effort, smart positioning, and real two-way consistency[1][5]. He stood out as a sturdy, low-maintenance big who could score inside, protect the paint, and keep possessions alive, which made him a fit for teams needing toughness and feel rather than flash[1][4].
