Wizards Stack Camp Bodies: Beekman, Keels Sign Exhibit 10 Deals

Washington added four Exhibit 10 contracts, led by summer standout Reece Beekman, who dropped a 15-assist game in Vegas. None move the fantasy needle yet.

Wizards Stack Camp Bodies: Beekman, Keels Sign Exhibit 10 Deals
WATCH
Reece Beekman

Two-way upside if injuries hit Washington's backcourt, but not rosterable now.

Key numbers
  • Beekman: 13 pts, 15 asts vs Hawks Summer League
  • Beekman G League: 8.8 PPG, 4.6 APG, 1.9 SPG
  • Keels: 15.6 PPG on 40.4% 3PT in G League
  • Keels once hit all 12 threes for 46 points
  • Exhibit 10 bonus ~$85k for 60 days in G League

Washington rounded out its training camp roster with four Exhibit 10 signings, headlined by 24-year-old guard Reece Beekman, who turned heads in Summer League with a 13-point, 15-assist showing against Atlanta. The Wizards also brought in guard Trevor Keels and forward Jordan Settle on similar deals, while waiving KeShawn Murphy, who'd only recently inked one himself.

If you're scanning that list for a fantasy plug-in, stop now. Exhibit 10 contracts are camp-and-affiliate deals by design — they carry a roughly $85,000 bonus for players who stick with the Capital City Go-Go for at least 60 days. In plain terms, this is Washington stocking its G League pipeline, not its rotation.

Who These Guys Actually Are

Beekman is the most intriguing name. He went undrafted out of Virginia in 2024 after four seasons there, bounced between Golden State and Brooklyn as a rookie, then spent last year with the Osceola Magic, Orlando's G League affiliate. He averaged 8.8 points, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game — the steal number is the eye-catcher for anyone who values disruptive point-of-attack defense.

Keels, 23, is coming home. The Duke product hails from Clinton, Maryland, and starred at Paul VI Catholic. He'll practice with the Wizards through camp before likely landing with the Go-Go. His G League line last year — 15.6 points on 40.4% from three — includes a genuinely absurd 46-point night where he drilled all 12 of his three-point attempts for the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Settle rounds out the group. He played five college seasons, three at Howard and two at Temple, then averaged 8.2 points over 14 G League games with the Skyforce last season. He's the longest shot of the bunch to see any NBA floor time this year.

What It Means On The Court

Beekman said he expects to compete for a spot, and his summer chemistry with Washington's Vegas squad — where he and Jaylen Livingston both stood out — gives him a real case for a two-way conversion down the line. But the operative words are "down the line." Right now he's a camp arm competing for developmental reps, not minutes on a rebuild that already has its guard depth chart sorted.

For a Wizards team still finding its identity, these moves are about optionality. If injuries carve up the backcourt midseason, Beekman is the type of steal-heavy, pass-first guard who could get a call. That's a scenario worth filing away, not acting on.

The Fantasy Fallout

There are no fantasy winners or losers here in the traditional sense — none of these four is rosterable in standard leagues, and no existing Wizard sees his role dented by a set of Exhibit 10 signings. Deep-league dynasty managers can jot Beekman's name in a notebook as a defensive-stats flier if he earns a two-way slot, but that's the ceiling of the conversation today.

Bottom line: Beekman is a WATCH, and only in the deepest formats. Keels and Settle are Go-Go-bound and off the fantasy radar entirely. Keep your waiver moves aimed at players with a clear path to real NBA minutes — this isn't one of those days.
