A 6’7″ wing with elite length and blend of athleticism, Beauchamp has drawn praise for his defensive tools and slashing ability . Hoops Wire notes that his size, athleticism, and defensive versatility fit the typical “Tom Thibodeau role player” archetype

🗣️ Fan Reaction Highlights (via Reddit)
“He’s one of those dudes that looks good on the floor… Then you watch him play an actual game and he just kinda does nothing.”
“Honestly he has the tools to be a decent wing defender and he can space the floor well enough but he needs to buy into being a 3&D role player.”
Fans see his upside as a defensive glue piece with potential as a 3‑and‑D wing—but worry that he hasn’t yet delivered in game action.
