Episode Details

Joan Beringer, the 19th pick in the 2025 draft, may not have dazzled as a rookie, but his per-36-minute stats scream potential—nearly 18 points and 10 rebounds. With key players gone, he’s poised for more minutes, maybe 16–20 per night. Timberwolves president Tim Connelly praised his rare physical gifts and quick learning curve under Rudy Gobert’s tutelage. In Summer League, even before a back injury, Beringer dropped 18/11/4 in one game, showing improved ball-handling that hints at why the Wolves traded up for him. He could fill the massive void when Gobert sits, potentially playing power forward and helping stabilize defense. Still young—only mid-teens into the league—Beringer’s ceiling is enormous. A breakout season could fix the Wolves’ biggest flaws and ignite their championship dreams.
