JULY 3: Beekman’s two-way contract has been officially completed, according to the transaction log at NBA.com.
JUNE 27: The Warriors are signing former Virginia point guard Reece Beekman to a two-way contract, sources inform Shams Charania of The Athletic (via Twitter).
Last season, the 6’3″ senior posted averages of 14.3 points, 6.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 0.5 blocks per night while starting all of his 34 games.
The 22-year-old was twice named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year across his past two seasons with the Cavaliers, and was a three-time ACC All-Defensive player overall. He was named to the All-ACC Second-Team in 2024 and the All-ACC Third-Team in 2023.
However, Beekman’s jump shot could use some work. For his entire collegiate career, he averaged shooting splits of .429/.319/.767. Only once did he connect on at least 35% of his three-point tries, as a junior in 2022/23. That year, Beekman shot 35.1% from long range on a fairly modest 2.4 attempts per game.
After not making a pick on day one of the draft, the Warriors added Boston College center Quinten Post at No. 52 on day two before heading to the undrafted free agent market and reaching a deal with Beekman.
Another stupid Guard
He made the Dean’s list for three consecutive years in high school, he can’t be that stupid.
He’s just another fake warriors fan whining about the team not abandoning its identity to sign tall players. It’s sad.
I actually like this new Warriors front office finally bringing in a defense-first guard, something we have never had even one time.
You are a confused soul. What is Gary Payton Jr?
Confused soul? That is you, Shawn.
GP2 is a guy who’s defense fell off a cliff last season who gets paid too much and needs to go.
Except you said “bringing in a defense first guard, something we didn’t have not even one time”… and they literally brought in a defense first guard named Gary Payton II twice in the last couple years.
You are beyond a confused soul.
Plus he cannot get a assist to save his life. Just like jokic not getting a average of one block a game ever, kind of like LeBron never being able to play a full season
Another guard for Dumbleavy and DumberKerr who will take minutes from Moody. Free Moody!
He is a 2 way player so he is a back up in case of injury. More likely plays almost all his games in the G league.
You sure? Kerr has given major minutes to 2-way players the last 4 years. Chiozza, Jerome etc.
All facts
All got minutes because of injuries. Notice how they were both gone the next year.
Truuuue
Chiozza also technically played a part in a title, haha
Bringing the old account out eh? Nothing like having conversations with yourself.
For some reason my Warriors HATE tall players.
Some tall dude must have taken Joe Lacobs woman as a kid.
Being that our guards and smalls played zero defense last season, I can understand why they would bring in and prioritize Beekman, Anderson and Melton first – all plus defenders. Then there is the 7 footer Post, who also was lauded for his bigman defense. Anderson is also 6’9″. I am quite positive about this offseason, and it gets better if we get Hield for a 2nd rounder, as Buddy is basically a cheap Klay, so we bought in some shooting too.
I also don’t think we are done, I think Wiggins, GP2 and Looney could all be traded. For who? No idea, but their spaces can possibly be upgraded. Cant wait to see what happens next…
I think they’re still in on Markkanen, and I saw mention of maybe a sign and trade for Hield.
