Long Beach State's Forgotten 2013 Bench Big with Untapped Rebounding Upside
Gatete Djuma, a 6-9 Rwandan-born forward for Long Beach State in the 2012-13 season, flashed elite efficiency (57.1% FG) and rebounding prowess in limited action (0.7 PPG, 0.4 RPG in 11 games), including high school feats like 20 boards and 16 points at Dixie State. His raw athleticism, shot-blocking (8 total HS blocks), and quick adaptation after just two U.S. years make him a gritty, high-motor project big—perfect for teams needing affordable frontcourt depth, though his minimal college minutes and age suggest he's likely graduated or inactive by 2026.
