Fibwi Mallorca has announced the signing of Adrià Moncanut, a 23-year-old point guard from Iraurgi of the Segunda FEB. The player, who averaged 10.5 points per game, already knows coach Álex Formento from previous stages. This addition strengthens the team for the Primera FEB, seeking to consolidate after their return. The club is betting on young talent to improve performance and offer a better show for fans.
Tactical analysis: how Moncanut fits into Formento's system 🏀
Moncanut's arrival brings speed and penetration ability to the playmaking. His prior knowledge of coach Formento facilitates adaptation to a system that prioritizes high pace and quick decision-making. At Iraurgi, he demonstrated effectiveness in the pick and roll and a good percentage on mid-range shots. His youth allows for long-term development, while his experience in Segunda FEB gives him an extra competitive edge for the step up in category. The squad thus adds a point guard with potential and room for improvement.
Moncanut: the point guard coming to fix what Formento already knows 🔥
If there's one thing Álex Formento is clear about, it's that he doesn't need to waste time explaining his system to a player who already knows it. Adrià Moncanut arrives like the friend who shows up on moving day: he knows where the boxes are and doesn't ask silly questions. With an average of 10.5 points, it is expected that in Mallorca the figure will rise, even if only because the opposing defense will be more focused on the spotlight than the ball. If it doesn't work, there's always the fallback of saying he was young and needed to adapt.
