Reply to "Marjon Beauchamp"

It would seem to me that they are targeting him to be another stopper (initially) to defend the wing.  Perhaps a taller and more athletic and younger version of Wes Matthews.

Another positive is he’s a very good rebounder for his size, and perhaps the best trait is he plays hard and has a Giannis like background and mentality that should allow him to stay humble.

He’s good in transition and can finish but he’s not a great ball handler nor is he a good shooter.   His passing skills are mediocre at this point as well.

If I had to guess, Allen will be the offense and Beauchamp will be the defense at the 2.   That’s my take.  It would have been nice to have a guy like this against Boston to slow down Tatum or Brown.

The Hugo Besson pick is a bit more intriguing.  When you see him play, he has a bit of Steph Curry about him in the way he takes long range pull up shots.  No one has Curry’s range (maybe Dame), but Besson is a sneaky good athlete that plays with flair and confidence.  Takes and makes a lot of step back 3s and contested shots.  Very good finisher at the rim.  Probably a better passer than he gets credit for.   You never want to assume anything, but it’s possible Besson could become their backup PG.
