NBA reporter Landon Buford posted a news on his social media, and he also talked about the Portland Trail Blazers' next signing trend. Landon Buford wrote: I was told by sources that the Trail Blazers are interested in signing forward star MarJon Beauchamp, who is currently in full free agent form. Beecham's two-way contract with the New York Knicks expired in July this year, and the Knicks did not choose to provide him with a qualification offer, which also made him a full free agent. So far, Beecham has not received a contract from an NBA team, which also shows that his market conditions are somewhat less than ideal.

Beecham was born in October 2002 and is 22 years old, 201cm tall and weighs 90kg. He is a forward player from the NBA Development League Ignition team selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 24th pick in the first round in the 2022 NBA Draft. Beecham has played in the NBA field with the Bucks, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Knicks. He played a total of 135 games in the NBA regular season, averaging 12 minutes per game, with averaging 4.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 0.6 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 43% from the field, 35.4% from three-point shooting percentage and 71.8% from free throws.

In the middle of last season, Beecham was first sent to the Clippers by the Bucks, and then he was quickly cut by the Clippers and joined the Knicks as a two-way contract player. Last season, Beecham made a total of 35 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 4.5 minutes of playing time, averaging 2.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 0.1 steals, 0.4 turnovers and 0.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 41.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 34.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75%. Obviously, Beecham's progress is unsatisfactory. Although he is a first-round pick, he has been working hard on the NBA for several seasons and still has no way to find his presence on the court, which is also an important factor in his continuous change of clubs last season.

It is worth noting that Scoot Henderson in the Trail Blazers lineup had previously played for the NBA Development League team before the draft, and the two are also teammates with good relationships. Considering that the Trail Blazers are also in the reconstruction period, they also need to add more young talents. Although Beecham's progress in the past few seasons is not satisfactory, he still has some potential to tap. I don’t know what kind of contract the Trail Blazers will sign Beecham. Can he get a guarantee contract from the Trail Blazers? Or will he become a potential contender for a two-way contract?
