If there’s one quality that defines Reece Beekman’s game — before his active hands, stellar footwork, incredible feel, superior finishing ability, and phenomenal passing — it’s his lightning-quick first step. Whether off a steal in the backcourt leading to a transition dunk or on a drive to the rim, Beekman is capable of turning on the burners to change speeds on a dime.
Considering his struggles over two seasons to consistently knock down perimeter shots, that initial jump he’s capable of getting on opponents has allowed Beekman to still be a threat offensively and to work to draw help to find open teammates.
