Minnesota Timberwolves center Joan Beringer is one of the more intriguing rookies. The 6-foot-11 Frenchman has an ideal blend of athleticism, size, mobility, and length. This skill set allows Beringer to be highly impactful as a defender. However, given how deep the Wolves' rotation is and that the 18-year-old big man is still raw, Beringer’s rookie season will be primarily a developmental year.
Beringer's projected role as a rookie
Chris Finch has discussed expanding the Wolves' rotation to possibly go 10-deep. With Naz Reid, Donte DiVincenzo, Terrence Shannon Jr., Rob Dillingham, and Jaylen Clark all above him, Beringer’s path to minutes is unclear.
