Beekman had his best performance during his final season with the Cavaliers, scoring 14.3 points and shooting 44.3 percent from the field.
While Beekman has proven he can score, his calling card is his defense, as he is a three-time ACC All-Defensive team selection and two-time winner of the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award.
