Bucks make surprising MarJon Beauchamp contract decision
10/31/2024 02:08 PM
The Milwaukee Bucks will be declining the fourth-year rookie option worth $4.8 million for the 2025-26 season on MarJon Beauchamp’s contract, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
After being drafted 24th overall by the Bucks in 2022, Beauchamp has shown flashes of his potential as a shooter and scorer on the wing. However, these moments have been overshadowed by doubt and struggles that have persisted on the court in games and off the court in practices, league sources told ClutchPoints. The concerns, from the organization’s perspective, are Beauchamp’s willingness to change his style of play in order to fit in alongside the Bucks’ core of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Khris Middleton.
As a result, Milwaukee has dangled Beauchamp in trade talks over the last month, sources said. Whether or not the team will find a new home for the young wing before the trade deadline remains unclear.
In a total of 104 games with the Bucks since entering the league, Beauchamp has averaged 4.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 43.1 percent from the floor and 35.3 percent from three-point range.
This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
