The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Joan Beringer with the No. 17 pick in June's draft. At 6-foot-11 with a 7-foot-4 wingspan, the French big man is physically gifted. Furthermore, Beringer is just 18 years old and has immense upside. During Monday's media day, Beringer put no limits on his ceiling.
“I don’t want to put a limit on my potential, Beringer said. I want to be one of the best players in the league and one of the best defenders. That is my goal.”
Beringer's ambition is admirable, and this is exactly the mindset you want to see from the rookie.
