A Clemson basketball point guard was included in On3’s top 10 freshmen in the ACC, which was determined based on the players who will bring the most impact to their teams this season.
Redshirt freshman Josh Beadle, a 3-star point guard out of Cardinal Newman High School, was listed in the fifth spot as the only redshirt freshman in the ACC to be included on the list.
Here is what On3’s Jamie Shaw had to say about Beadle:
Josh Beadle is a little different than the rest on this list as he redshirted last season. Still, he is a freshman, nevertheless. Beadle should be the starting point guard for the Tigers. The 6-foot-3 lefty is a crafty scorer with sneaky athleticism. His feel is what is unique about him. Can his body hold up to the grind of ACC play? That will be an interesting question. The Tigers will be without PJ Hall until at least November.
Beadle is a South Carolina kid with little expectations of him from outside the program and a lot of opportunities for him in the program. There could be some growing pains, but there could also be some shining moments.
Though Beadle did not appear in a game for the Tigers last season, the Columbia, South Carolina native played in all three games during Clemson’s foreign tour to France earlier this month. Over the course of their three wins, Beadle put together 40 points, seven rebounds and six assists in 82 minutes of play.
