offensive analysis
1. Beauchamp mainly plays off the ball. Most of his points in the G-League came from the wing position when switching offenses, and from aggressive cuts during the half-court offense. Demonstrated ability to find openings on the move.
2. Although there were a few wonderful shots when holding the ball, there is still room for improvement as a shooter to release his comprehensiveness on the offensive end.
3. He can score 1.32 points per attack, exceeding 85% of the players in the same class. He has shown amazing ability and energy when working on the rim, as well as accurate tip-in timing. His excellent touch timing and length allow him to score over the heads of defenders.
4. Beauchamp becoming a better spot-up shooter will be an X factor in his development if he can fill some gaps on the offensive end.
