He was a top 25 player in his high school class and is predicted to make it to the NBA at some point. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>With a good team in Indiana with a lot of experienced players, Renault is still trying to find its groove. He&#8217;s had a tough time coming in as a freshman and carving out his role, but the flashes he&#8217;s shown say he should be a big contributor one day. <\/p>\n<p>Reneau recorded 63 DSI. This is his best attribute among Cerebro&#8217;s advanced metrics. He&#8217;s tallied his double-digit steals and blocks in just over 250 total minutes played this season.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>The Indiana freshman got off to a very strong start early in the season, posting double-digit numbers in four of his first five games at college, but hasn&#8217;t achieved it since. As of today, it&#8217;s likely he&#8217;ll need another year at the college level before Renault makes the jump, but the NBA definitely has an advantage. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"nba-upside\">NBA Upside <\/h3>\n<p>Watching Renault play, it&#8217;s clear he&#8217;s an impactful two-way player with great size and length at 6-foot-9. He also has the unique opportunity to play under Trace Jackson Davis, the exemplar of the perfect college forward. got the chance to play. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>His 3-point shooting and free throw efficiency needs a lot of work in relation to Renault&#8217;s offensive game, but he was efficient within the arc. He&#8217;s also an effective rebounder in limited action, and most of his overall numbers are promising when scaled out to larger fractional samples. <\/p>\n<p>Renault has always played at the highest level, most recently making back-to-back GEICO High School National Championships before jumping to college level. He&#8217;s also shown over the years with various teams that he can be a highly influential role player with limited action, but he can also step up and become more of a focus. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<p>With a size and capacity to meet many different needs, Renault has what it takes to join the league in the near future. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"mm-horizontal-rule mm-horizontal-rule--hr1\"\/>\n<p>Want to join the discussion?
