Former high-school scorer still fighting for minutes at Long Beach State
Rene’s best calling card is his scoring pedigree: at Long Beach Poly in the 2018-19 season, he averaged 17.8 points per game, but his Long Beach State production has been limited so far, with ESPN listing 1.5 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.4 assists per game on 25.0% shooting. He’s worth watching if you value a guard who has shown he can generate offense, but the current fit is more developmental than plug-and-play, and there isn’t enough reliable public evidence yet of standout size, playmaking, or defensive impact at the college level to label him a proven difference-maker.[2][3]
