Tony Snell College Career

2010 – 2011 season: Freshman year

In 2009, ESPN scouting called Rena one of the top sleepers on the West Coast and a diamond in the rough. Rena committed to play for the New Mexico Lobos on September 15th, 2009, and signed in November 2009. The 2010 – 11 Lobo squad was young and inexperienced, led by lone senior Dairese Gary and UCLA transfer Drew Gordon.

Rena was one of four freshmen playing significant minutes, together with Kendall Williams, Alex Kirk, and Cameron Bairstow, one of the most accomplished recruiting classes in Lobo history. The team had a roller-coaster season starting 10-1 and later winning four straight twice, but also losing four straight and six of nine.

They beat No.3 BYU in Provo late in the season but lost to the Cougars in the MWC tournament. The Lobos received a bid to the 2011 National Invitation Tournament and beat UTEP before losing at Alabama to finish the season 22 – 23. Rena played in all but one game, average 4.4 points, and two rebounds. He scored in double figures four times and led the team in scoring twice.

He had a breakout performance with 16 points against then No.9 BYU hiring four three-pointers followed two games later by a season-best 19, with five threes, against Wyoming. He started seven games, averaging 8.3 points in his stars, and in one seven-game stretch he averaged 10.3 points a game and shot 17 – 31 (548) from three. A sprained ankle late in the season limited his play and cut his production, as he managed just 11 points in the last eight games of the season.

2011 – 2012 season: Sophomore year

The Lobos in 2011 – 12 were anchored by the dominant inside play of Gordon, who tailed 19 double-doubles and whose 11.1 rebounds per game were fourth in the nation. The team allowed just 59.3 points per game, the lowest ever for the Lobos in the shot clock era, and they held opponents under 40% shooting for the first time since the 1964 – 65 season.

Their scoring defense was fourteenth nationally, and their defensive field goal percentage was seventh. Rena was among several young guards battling for playing time going into the season, as senior and three-year starter Phillip McDonald was hampered by injury. Rena earned a starting spot after tearing it up in practice and playing well in preseason exhibition games and playing well in preseason exhibition games.

He was capable of explosive scoring, but he was also prone to becoming tentative and falling into slumps. He scored in double figures in twenty games, including three games over 20, twice scoring 24, hitting six threes in one of those games; yet he also scored six or fewer points in eleven games, going scoreless for two straight games at one point.

For the season, Rena averaged 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists a game. The Lobos won thirteen straight early in the season on the way to a 15-2 record. They lost their next two games to No.16 San Diego State and at No.14 UNLV but then won seven straight, averaging those losses and climbing into the top twenty with a 22-4 record.

After two upset losses they settled for a share of the MWC regular semi-finals the Lobos won at No.20 UNLV with Rena accounting for 15 points six rebounds and six assists. The Lobos won the championship game over No.18 San Diego State, as Rena scored 14 shooting 4-6 from three, and was named to the All-Tournament team.

New Mexico received a five seed in the NCAA Tournament, but Rena was a nonfactor shooting a combined 1-9 and scoring just three points as the Lobos beat Long Beach State then lost to Final Four bound Louisville. The Lobos finished the season 28-7 and Rena was named Honorable Mention All-Mountain West.

2012 – 2013 season: Junior year

The 2012-13 Lobos again relied on tough defense and a balanced scoring attack, often coming from behind to grind out close wins. The team held opponents to sixty points a game and again held under 40% shooting while going 10-2 in games decided by six or fewer points. While Willimas led the team at just 13.3 points a game, four players averaged in double figures, and seven Lobo players led the team in scoring in individual games.

Rena led the team in ten games, including five straight during a late stretch when he averaged 19.8 a game and shot 22-39 from three-point range. On the season, Rene averaged 12.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists a game, and he led the team in three-point shooting percentage and for the second straight season, free throw percentage. Over his career, he was the fifth most accurate free-throw shooter in Lobo history.

The Lobos began the season 12-0, including a win over No. 19 Connecticut, and climbed to No. 16 in the polls. They lost a couple of games to eventual NCCA tournament teams South Dakota State and St. Louis but also won at No.8 Cincinnati. After a bad loss at No. 20 San Diego State, they won nine out of ten and clinched the MWC regular-season title, while reaching No. 11.

Rena assumed more of a leadership role, an adjustment due to his quiet demeanor – his mother termed him the ”silent assassin,” a nickname that Lobo fans embraced. He scored 20 points or more in six games, 25 or more in three games, but he continued to struggle at times, scoring under ten points in 13 games, with a low of five.

In the MWC tournament, Rena averaged 17.7 points a game while shooting 12-20 from three-point range. In the semi-final game against SXan Diego State, he made three-pointers in 55 seconds as the Lobos built a large lead. In the championship game at UNLV, he shot 8-11 from the field 5 -7 from three atone point scoring 13 straight points for the Lobos as they pulled away to seal their second straight tourney title.

Rena was named tournament MVP and ESPN national player of the week for his performance. After the season, he was named Third Team All MWC. New Mexico entered the NCAA Tournament ranked No.10 and received a three see. They suffered a disappointing upset to Havard, however to finish the season 29-6. The Lobos shot poorly with Rena going 4-12, 1-6 from three for just nine points.

Rena chose to forgo his senior season and declared for the NBA draft. While his college numbers were not spectacular, NBA scouts noted that Lobo’s balanced offense limited his output, and they were impressed by his length, outside shooting, and greatly improved defense.

Tony Snell Chicago Bulls (2013–2016)

Rena was chosen with the 20th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls. On July 10, 2013, he signed with the Bulls and joined them for the 2013 NBA Summer League, where he averaged 11.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in five games. As a rookie in 2013-14, Rena featured in 77 games for the Bulls, averaged 4.5 points and 1.6 rebounds per game.

In July 2014, Rena rejoined the Bulls for the 2014 NBA Summer League where he averaged 20.0 points 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in five games, earning All NBA Summer League first-team honors. He was reunited with former Lobo teammates Bairstow and Williams on the Bulls summer league squad. On February 10th, 2015, he scored a career-high 24 points in the Bulls 104-86 win over the Sacramento Kings.

Rena became the Bulls starting small forward to start the 2015-16 season. Over the first 25 games of the season, Rena started in all but four. However, on December 21st, he was removed from the team’s regular rotation, and over the next three games, he was credited with a ”DNP” in two of the three.

With teammate Doug McDermott out injured on December 28th against the Toronto Raptors, Rena got his chance to re-establish himself in the rotation, coming off the bench to score an equal team-high 22 points on 8 of 14 shooting in 27 minutes of action helping the Bulls defeat the Raptors 104-97.
