The Minnesota Timberwolves have a promising center in Joan Berringer, who came in from the 2025 NBA Draft class, and the front office is ecstatic.

Joan Beringer became the Minnesota Timberwolves' first-round pick at the 2025 NBA Draft, bringing a French center who it's believed could replace the team's current center, Rudy Gobert. Beringer is still unpolished and needs development, but he'll have a great mentor in Gobert.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have selected Joan Beringer with the No. 17 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Beringer enters the league after a decorated 2024-25 season overseas, winning both the Slovenian League title and Slovenian Cup.
