We had Kreiner, which was huge in spelling Garza. But Nunge isn't Kreiner. Kreiner was an inside guy who could occasionally step outside. Nunge is an outside guy who can occasionally step inside. Big difference. We need that post guy that can spell Garza....even if it's only for 3-4 mins each half.
Iowa’s offense isn’t a concern. Nunge doesn’t need to be a force inside when Garza is out. Just play defense and rebound.You're correct, we don't know about Nunge. He looks like a guy who should play inside, yet he seems like a guy who wants to play outside. There's more opportunity for him as an inside guy, but only if he wants to be there. We'll see.
Worth noting his freshman year Nunge started at center for a 3 game span in the non conference alongside Cook, while Garza was coming off the bench. In the game at Iowa State, Nunge had 16 points / 8 rebounds / 4 assists in 23 minutes.
