It certainly seems like the Milwaukee Bucks have another star in the making in 2022 first round draft pick MarJon Beauchamp. The Washington native was home today to participate in Jamal Crawford’s Crawsover Pro-Am event. A three-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Crawford took over the Seattle Pro-Am league and rebranded it. Notable NBA players that have played in the league include LeBron James, Paulo Banchero, and Zach Lavine.
None of them, though, accomplished what Beauchamp did on Saturday night.

Prior to the game, Landon Buford was able to chat with Crawford about Beauchamp and his inclusion in the Crawsover league. As it turns out, Beauchamp attended Crawford’s basketball camps when he was a kid, and Crawford has been watching his growth with great interest:

“We are excited to see him Marjon; I’ve known him since a youngster. He used to come to my basketball camp when he was a kid,” says @JCrossover.

Crawford goes on to say that it has been cool to see Beauchamp, who was once homeless and the recipient of help, starting to give back. “We have no choice but to give back,” Crawford said.
Now, Beauchamp probably is not going to go out and put up 83 points in a NBA game, but he is coming into his own as a professional and his improvements are being noticed by everyone.
2023 will be a good year for him.
