The 22-year-old Beekman spent four season at Virginia, starting 121 of the 126 games he played. During his time in Charlottesville, he averaged 9.5 points and 5.0 assists in 32.7 minutes per contest.
Beekman had his best showing during his final Cavaliers season, scoring 14.3 points on 44.3 percent shooting from the field.
While Beekman proved that he can score, his calling card is his defense, as he was a three-time ACC All-Defensive team selection and two-time ACC Defensive Player of the Year Award winner.
