MarJon Beauchamp traded to Clippers for Kevin Porter Jr.
The Bucks have made another trade.
MarJon Beauchamp, the Bucks’ first-round draft pick in 2022, has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers for guard Kevin Porter Jr.
With the trade of AJ Johnson on Wednesday, the Bucks have now traded their last two first-round draft picks in the last two days.
Beauchamp, 24, never could become a consistent rotational player for the Bucks. And his playing time has decreased even more in his third season with the Bucks. He was averaging career lows at 4.7 minutes per game. In 126 career games with the Bucks, he averaged 4.2 points and 11.4 minutes per contest.
Porter Jr., 24, was actually selected by the Bucks at the 2019 NBA draft but was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers via the Detroit Pistons on draft night.
