Statistical Impact Analysis

As a matter of quantitative analysis, Beekman's absence removes a specific operational profile from Washington's backcourt. Over a 10-game sample spanning from March 1, 2025, to April 11, 2025, Beekman averaged 19.9 minutes per game with a usage rate of 12.7 percent. During that stretch, he produced 4.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.7 steals per contest while averaging 0.6 turnovers and an average plus-minus of -6.4. His efficiency metrics included a true shooting percentage of 0.436 and 0.0 blocks per game.

Our analytical perspective highlights that Beekman's primary numerical contributions occurred in perimeter defense and ball care. His 1.7 steals per game in under 20 minutes of floor time represents a high rate of defensive disruption, while his 3.0 assists against 0.6 turnovers yielded a low-turnover distribution profile. Conversely, his 12.7 percent usage rate and 0.436 true shooting percentage indicate that his absence subtracts minimal scoring volume.
