Anyone remember the last wolves draft pick that the commissioner mispronounced their name when announcing them? Bad omen?

Elite defensive shot-blocking French center who struggles catching the ball in traffic and is prone to bobbles, and is a poor free throw shooter. Kind of reminds me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on it 
.
Well, if he ends up being 50% of Rudy, we'll be happy getting him with the 17th pick.

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow night at #31. That’s a pick with a lot of value. It’s where you can get a 1st round talent without the constraints of 1st round contract requirements. So I don’t see the Wolves trading the pick unless they get significant value in return.

Certainly fits the modern game better than Sorber, not that Sorber can't be really good in his own way.Lipoli390 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 9:13 pm Beringer. What I love about him:
1. Has terrific length with a 9’3 standing reach and 7’4.5 wingspan.
2. Still only 18 years old and has played basketball for only 4 years - translation: huge upside
3. Very good athlete
4. Watches NBA basketball every morning - obviously loves and is devoted to the NBA game.
5. Seems to play with a lot of competitive fire and energy.
6. Can be mentored by the best French big man in the NBA
This was a very good pick. He didn’t compile impressive stats and the fact he’s only played basketball 4 years could be viewed as as a negative rather than a positive. But this is where I trust TC. He has a terrific acumen for identifying young talent. In this instance I think it’s obvious TC had his eye on Beringer all along, which is why he didn’t trade up for Sorber and waited until #17 without trading down. So this is a pick we should be excited about.
And if he's only 18, imagine how tall he'll be after two Wolves off-seasons!

I wonder if Sorber's foot injury scared us off...not a good thing for a big.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 9:17 pmCertainly fits the modern game better than Sorber, not that Sorber can't be really good in his own way.Lipoli390 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 25, 2025 9:13 pm Beringer. What I love about him:

The Nets have three remaining picks in the 2nd round - 19, 26 and 27. Are they going to take and keep all three? I wouldn’t think so, but we’ll see.
Very interesting that Newell is still on the board. He was expected to be gone by now in most mocks. I’m thinking the Heat will take Clifford. Someone’s going to draft Fleming before the end of the first round.
