Tends to relax away from the ball defensively, ball watches
Struggles when he cannot create separation off the dribble because of his limited ability to score offensively
Only way he scores is primarily at the basket, no consistent mid-range, no consistent floater, no outside shot, really lacks diversity in shot chart as a guard

Summary
Beekman is a pass-first lead guard who displayed the ability to be a floor general and command an offense, initiate sets and create for others in the half court, and push the tempo by making quick reads in the open floor. His unselfish playmaking allowed for others to get going offensively and get a rhythm. Beekman plays to his pace and can change speeds off the dribble to get downhill and draw in secondary defenders. A strength for him is his poise especially when being pressured or trapped because he rarely allows that to be a reason for a turnover. Defensively, he is a pesky on-ball defender using his size and lateral quickness to pressure ball handlers and navigate ball screens. When defending, he is constantly using his hands and body to cause deflections and disrupt the ball handler’s rhythm, making it difficult to get downhill and initiate an offense. His biggest weakness is his overall jumper. Whether it is a pull-up or three pointer, he lacks consistent confidence and shooting mechanics to pose a threat, creating a major hole in his game. Because of this, he struggles to create separation when he is forced to score due to his limited ability to score offensively. His main way to generate consistent points for himself is either at the rim or from the free throw line. A consistent mid-range jumper and floater would go a long way for his game.

Notes
Nike EYBL - Emerson, GA - 4/26 - 28/2020
Shot the ball well from 3 off the catch, PG size but play mostly off the ball due to his team having 3 top 30 wings. Defensively he was really good, turing the ball handler, picking up on-ball steal and playing the passing lanes well. Was able to create for him team in the few PnR actions as the ball handler.
