Bucks sign former Ignite guard MarJon Beauchamp to rookie contract
MarJon Beauchamp, formerly of the NBA G League Ignite, signed his rookie contract on Thursday with the Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced.
Beauchamp, the 24th overall pick last month, averaged 15.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 21 games last season with the Ignite. He scored at least 20 points six times and also logged six double-doubles throughout the season.
The Bucks value the versatility Beauchamp can play with and his understanding of the game. They believe he can fill quite a few needs on the roster, something Beauchamp is eager to prove and work toward in the coming months.
Beauchamp expressed his excitement last week to get to work with the Bucks. He will soon have that opportunity in the upcoming Las Vegas Summer League when the Bucks begin their stint on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets.
