Beringer declares and says he’s 6’11 barefoot.

That defense is elite.

I wonder if draft workouts get him near the lottery.

I think he's the Jarrett Allen or less nutty version of Willie Cauley-Stein in this draft.

I like the [edit: WCS, not WCJ! It has been a while!] comp for what he is right now, though Beringer's mobility really is something else from what I've seen.

Not nearly the offense of Allen but a better athlete IMO.

WCJ? Our Wendell Carter Junior? The undersized 6'10 with shoes Center that's 270lbs heavy?

Sure he has mobility and can switch from perimeter to the rim but he isn't " bouncy"

Beringer feels like this year's "he's probably Bruno Caboclo, but what if he is Giannis" player.

He'll be the Yves Missi or Adem Bona of the 2025 draft. To me it's low risk high reward. Beringer is very young, born in december 2006, he began basketball 4 years ago and improves by leaps and bounds. I doubt he'll ever be a great offensive player but I'm sure he'll be a force on defense, rebound and rim-running. His shotblocking is elite
I really want to know his measurements because he's listed 6"9 but he covers so much ground that he looks like a 6'11 tall player - with 7'5 wingspan.
If he develops shooting skills he could develop into a very good NBA player

Someone entertain me, is there a Mobley like measurables and a/a but with none of the off or def skills? I hear Allen comps but I think Beringer a bit more pliable moving around similar to Mobley.

I guess his combine testing will tell the tale. Trae can mitigate much of offensive shortcomings, long as he does produces on the other end.

Edit:
Just watched a 2 hour scouting vid but actually sped thru 30 mins of it... This coc sucker att about 20 from slightly above the ft line and made 2. On the other hand, it's not bad just has a noticeable hitch and needs to work on arc and touch.

Looks to be able to catch the ball and not fumble passes for the most part. Seems to keep it from swipes when going up, but struggles badly from contact. To be expected from a young 18yo. The intriguing part is his team anchoring potential. Looks to be a great rebounder. The body is bodying for such a young prospect, pause.

And according to this video he is 240 lbs (109 kilograms), I am very amazed given how fast he runs. I was thinking 225-230 lbs

Remember Beringer is only 18 years old, born in december 2006.
He's quite heavy for his age, but really bouncy with nimble feets that's impressive

A pure athletic freak with insane measurements. I can't wait for the combine to confirm this

[Catchall]

Willie Cauley-Stein measured out at 6'11" w/o shoes, 240 lbs, with a 7'3" wingspan and a 9'3" standing reach. It's look like Beringer will measure out similarly. WCS was a bouncy big who could guard 4 or 5 positions, make a mid-range jumper and also score at the rim. He just turned out to be a bit of a knucklehead as well. That said, WCS was three years older than Beringer entering the draft.

Another rough comp for Beringer might be someone like Derrick Favors, at least offensively. I don't think Beringer is as skilled as an Evan Mobley, for example.

Joan Beringer is not very skilled yet, he began basketball at 15 years old. But he's improvement is really impressive. He has great hands offensively, he has some touch. His FT shooting improved from 47% last year to 59% this year. Other than that I think he understands the game very well, he's very efficient on the pick and roll

Beringer has not shot or ball skills like Mobley.

He’s basically a dunker finisher. Would not bank on him ever being anything more. He can pass though. Think he could get even better there. He’s such a good athlete that he will create a lot of rim pressure through his vertical spacing. Toss it anywhere near the rim and he will get it and dunk it. He has great hands.

His defense, motor and IQ are absolutely elite. Like NBA All Defense potential elite.

[coutournant]

I agree. A good comparison for Beringer offensively is Daniel Gafford. I think he can be that kind of player, providing a lot of point around the rim with high %. Beringer is probably bigger than Gafford and he'll probably be a better rebounder/shotblocker, and overall defender

Yes on offense.

Way better on defense.

Beringer has Mobley potential on D.

If OKC keeps that 15 pick I think Beringer has to be their guy. They have time to let him grow, wont ask him to do much to start out, have some minutes open at backup big. The Hartenstein move showed Presti is willing to put a non-shooter on the floor if they are giving you +++ stuff elsewhere. Seems like a great fit.

I don't think Joan projects to have the skill and feel that they typically target in their bigs.

Hartenstein was far more skilled at the same age.

He feels more like someone Jeff Weltman would pick.

I watched Beringer against Partizan, so first full game. Extremely raw offensively, but the defensive anticipation seems good and his athleticism is exceptional. There is a long way to go to be a starting caliber center, so you are banking on outlier skill development. That might happen given how new he is to basketball, I do really like him starting in the early 20s, though, now that I've seen a full game! Obviously his highlights are super intriguing, he is still interesting in game. Clearly an NBA level athlete and then some.

Yep. I don’t think he makes it past OKC.

As a Bulls fan I’d take him at 12.

I’m not a Maluach guy but I also think he could have been majorly covered up for Duke. I’d have to learn alot in workouts and interviews to take him over Beringer. Hes clearly much further along on offense and shooting.

[babyjax13]

when the drafts catch back up to NIL we are going to have some really deep draft classes where 2nd round picks are valuable. I'm guessing 2027 and 2028 will be abnormally deep, and then we will be back to normal, just with more older prospects, in 2029.

[Catchall]

I don't know what's going on at UNC, but Drake Powell is easily a 1st-round talent. I could see him going in the mid teens.
