Joan Beringer, C, Cedevita Olimpija
Height: 6-10 • Weight: 230 • Age: 18
Summary: Beringer began playing basketball only three years ago, which makes him a raw project, but also makes his natural talents all the more impressive. He’s a center but has the quickness of a guard, giving him immense defensive versatility to build on for years to come.
Comparisons: Clint Capela, Nerlens Noel
Strengths
Defensive versatility: Beringer has the long arms and agility to play in a switch-heavy scheme. He moves so quickly laterally even against quicker players. And he can do typical big-man things, playing in drop coverage or offering help with his bouncy rim protection and handsy defense in the passing lanes.
Rim finishing: He’s a power player who sets hard screens then can dunk over the defense, making him a constant lob threat who runs the floor hard on the break, too. He also has good hands to catch touch passes. And if he receives the ball on the roll or must handle in transition, his fluidity translates to offense with the way he can euro-step or decelerate to set himself to score with touch.
Concerns
Frame: He’s still extremely thin, so he needs time to add more muscle to better battle NBA-sized bigs, whether it’s finishing contested layups, or when on the boards and in the post. And he must do so without sacrificing his best talents with his fluidity and quickness.
Turnovers: He is ineffective scoring from the post and has a loose handle, leaving him prone to getting stripped. He also makes inaccurate passes.
Shooting: He’s currently a nonthreat to shoot and a borderline hackable free-throw shooter.
Defensive fundamentals: Sometimes he finds himself out of position, especially when defending pick-and-rolls or when closing out to shooters. Overall, his pure athleticism can make up for mistakes, but NBA offenses will be less forgiving.
