Rookie Joan Beringer is one of the more intriguing players for the Minnesota Timberwolves this season. Beringer was selected with the No. 17 pick in June and has a ton of upside. So far in training camp, it looks like Beringer has been impressive. Anthony Edwards notably had high praise for the rookie center. Beringer seems poised to be Rudy Gobert's successor, and his potential, especially on defense, is immense.
Nevertheless, Beringer doesn't turn 19 until November 11. Furthermore, he only started playing basketball in 2021. Overall, Beringer is one of the highest upside yet least polished first-round picks.
