The Milwaukee Bucks have been fortunate to witness several of their young stars perform extremely well during the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. On Thursday night, the young Bucks battled back from a 28-17 first quarter deficit to win 100-89 over the Dallas Mavericks. Despite having a tough night shooting, first round pick MarJon Beauchamp made several incredible defensive plays that should make fans very excited.
MarJon Beauchamp Highlights
Beauchamp’s first defensive highlight came late in the first quarter with the Bucks trailing 24-15. He stole the ball at the top of the arc and took it back for a monster slam on the other end.
