The Bucks’ first-round draft pick will wear uniform number zero during his rookie season.
MarJon Beauchamp was the 24th player taken in last month’s 2022 NBA Draft.
Beauchamp says he chose the number because he came from nothing to become a professional.
As a kid, he was homeless, attended multiple high schools, and often doubted himself.
He says he almost lost his love for basketball when a local junior college, Yakima Valley College, convinced him to play there.
He averaged almost 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists a game while dominating the league.
