I don't like overreacting to a rookie's first two games playing meaningful minutes. However, in the case of Joan Beringer, it's hard not to. The Minnesota Timberwolves center averaged 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in games against Victor Wembanyama and Giannis Antetokounmpo. This is especially impressive, given that Beringer is just 19 and was considered a raw prospect when the Wolves drafted him in June.
Joan Beringer’s first 2 games playing 20+ minutes

6.5 RPG
2.5 APG

+19.5!!!!! (best on the team)
Against Giannis. Against Wemby.
Deserves rotation opportunity whenever possible going forward pic.
