Beauchamp took the new path through the G-League to start his professional career. He is now one of the young prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft.
Out of high school, Beauchamp was a four-star recruit with offers from schools including Arizona. He chose to play in the G-League rather than in college. For the G-League Ignite, Beauchamp played in 12 games. Beauchamp averaged 15.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in the short season.
After his time in the G-League, Beauchamp has been preparing for the NBA Draft. He is currently projected to be a late first-round pick.
MarJon Beauchamp Strengths
Beauchamp has great athleticism and should fit right in at the NBA level. He has good quickness, speed and jumping ability. His quick first step helps him get to the basket and helps him stay in front of opponents when he is on defense. He often finishes at the rim well with highlight-reel dunks in transition and sometimes in the half-court.
He is a good on-ball defender and has some production. His 7-foot wingspan and athleticism help him defend the ball very well. On top of that, he is able to generate steals at a decently high rate. He averaged 1.7 per game in the G-League, which came from jumping passing lanes.
For a wing player, Beauchamp showed some proficiency rebounding. In the G-League he averaged 7.3 rebounds per game. He shows good awareness of how the ball will come off the rim and then has the athleticism to go get the ball. After getting the ball, he can start the team’s offense in transition.
MarJon Beauchamp Weaknesses
Beauchamp has to improve his shooting to be a successful offensive player in the NBA. He shot 24.2 percent from 3-point range in the G-League. His shooting needs to improve off the catch and off the dribble. Currently, defenders can slack off of him and give him space and he can’t make them pay. He also needs to improve his free throw shooting, as he shot just 65 percent in the G-League.
On the offensive end, Beauchamp needs to show more aggressiveness. He averaged less than two free throws per game last season in the G-League. Beauchamp doesn’t hesitate in transition, but needs to focus on getting to the basket more in the halfcourt. In the halfcourt offense, he can often settle for contested shots rather than get to the basket.
He can set up his teammates better than he currently does. Some of his assists come in easy transition situations. In the half-court, he needs to find the open man. He also has to protect the ball well, as he currently has a 2.5 to 2.3 assist-to-turnover ratio. Creating offense will be an area for improvement.
