Joan Beringer's rookie season wasn't pretty from start to finish. But the way it ended? That's the part worth paying attention to.
The Minnesota Timberwolves center had the kind of inconsistent first year that is honestly pretty normal for a young big man adjusting to the speed, physicality, and complexity of the NBA for the first time. There were stretches where the questions about his game felt legitimate. There were nights where the adjustment looked hard. And there were moments where you wondered if the transition was going to take longer than expected.
And then something clicked.
In this breakdown we go deep on everything Beringer showed us during his rookie year. We also get into what the Wolves need from him in year two, how he fits into their long term plans, and why his ceiling is higher than his rookie season box score suggests.
