Timberwolves Sign Rookie Joan Beringer with Defensive Potential

News summary

The Minnesota Timberwolves have officially signed their 2025 first-round pick, 18-year-old French center Joan Beringer, who was selected 17th overall in the draft. Beringer, known for his defensive versatility and elite athleticism, is expected to contribute primarily as a defender while developing his offensive game, particularly as an inside-out threat. He impressed teammates such as 2024 first-rounder Rob Dillingham during Summer League practices and is eager to grow alongside him and other young core players. Beringer recently completed a season with Slovenian club Cedevita Olimpija, helping them win the Slovenian Basketball Cup and averaging solid defensive stats. The Timberwolves view Beringer as a raw but promising talent who can eventually take on a significant role, complementing veterans like Mike Conley Jr. while contributing immediately on defense. Beringer will debut with the team in the upcoming NBA Summer League, beginning with a game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
