How the Bucks and the league at large values MarJon (it only takes 1 team) is one of my biggest questions at the moment.
That and how we’d approach a trade considering the Klutch relationship we’ve been building where Rich Paul directs guys our way for developmental purposes despite falling further in the draft.
Here’s how Shaffty put it — I don’t remember the cringe tweet if anyone has a reminder there, and am not sure what’s going on with his Instagram use, but I believe it:
Marjon Beauchamp - I was all in on Marjon. After his first two summer league games this year I was ready to put him in the 2nd tier with Khris Middleton, then he sent that cringe ass tweet and put up two stinkers. Proving he’s more concerned about his image/how he looks then playing winning basketball.
He plays timidly, he listens to the haters, and spends too much time on instagram. He has the tools and skill to really be a good player. But I’m not sure he will ever be able to find his footing under the spotlight of the Bucks. If I was the Blazers or the Jazz or a team no one cares about I would be interested in stealing him, there is a path for him to become a 10-13 ppg player, I’m just not sure its on the Bucks.
