I wouldn't rule it out, but Beringer would likely have to show offensive development.
Yes, he could be Vanderbilt without the shooting touch.

Vandy has shooting touch?
He should start bringing it to games...

Exactly, compare to Beringer, Vandy is a great shooter.

Is he? Vandy is a 36% shooter from 3-10 feet (24% last year), 14% from 10-16 feet (with 5 years of career not making a single one) and 29% from 3.
When he was Beringer's age at Kentucky he was a 43/00/63 shooter.
I'll be shocked if Joan isn't a better shooter than Vandy by the end of his rookie contract.

Beringer is 18. He can grow as a shooter and easily overtake Vanderbilt. Why be such a negative Nellie?

He's incredibly raw and likely won't see an NBA court for 1-2 seasons, but there's a lot of upside there. Great size/length and has really good touch for a 7'3 guy, showing some potential to stretch the floor and have an offensive game that goes beyond finishing lobs.
He was mocked by some as a lottery pick at the start of the season but got very little time at the Bullets. This wasn't a popular move and the (now fired) coach was heavily critisiced for it at times by fans and the media.
Also, love the picture Wolf Addict, up the Riff!

Yeah me too - He was picked up by BB Next Star for development but, in my opinion, they butchered it.
But love the way Baynes was so hard on him. Good exposure to what he'd get in the NBA.
UP THE RIFF!! FIVE IS ALIVE BABY!!!
EDIT: For those who aren't Rugby League fans, I support the Penrith Panthers who are fighting for their 5th straight premiership - Riff is a shortened version of "Penriff" (a play on the fact a lot of supporter base comes from Western Sydney which is notorious as bogan central and don't pronounce the TH)

Oooo you'll piss off a lot of League fans saying that brother lol
It's generally one or the other here. You either love the NRL and despise the AFL, or vice versa. No one cares about Union

Like it or not the games are quite similar.

Funnily enough I do support both, but I'm a later in life 'convert' so to speak, who's been pushed into League by some of the changes to Aussie Rules.
Dad lived in Sydney for a few years in the 2000s and got around the Panthers, so they're my team, drove all the way up from Melbourne to see them live in the last Home and Away game last year. 5 is definitely alive I reckon, wouldn't want to play us in the finals!

Huge butchering IMO. I'm not a big Schueller guy at all to be honest, thought he was just about the worst coach in it last year. I do get it was hard to get Rocco and Harrison on the floor together, but I think when you've got a freakish prospect like that you've got to find a way to make it work as a coach.
