The New York Knicks have taken another step in utilizing their 2022 draft resources by signing MarJon Beauchamp, the 24th overall pick, to a two-way deal. Beauchamp, who previously played for the Milwaukee Bucks, averaged only 4.2 points and 1.9 rebounds during his time there, and recent trades have reshaped his journey. Just days earlier, the Knicks also added Johnny Davis, the 10th pick in the same draft, to their G League team, highlighting their ongoing commitment to developing young talent.

Beauchamp's tenure with the Bucks ended when he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers for Kevin Porter, but he was released shortly after. This signing reflects the Knicks' interest in Beauchamp dating back to the 2022 draft when they initially considered him for their first-round pick. However, they opted to trade that selection to Oklahoma City in a strategic move to bolster their free agency plans, which eventually led to the acquisition of Jalen Brunson. As Beauchamp joins the Knicks, he will miss postseason eligibility due to the nature of his two-way contract. The Knicks are set to face the Clippers shortly as they embark on a five-game road trip.
