Joan Beringer says he learns from ‘amazing’ Minnesota Timberwolves player every single day

Joan Beringer credits Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert for daily on-court and off-court guidance

Beringer can also study superstar Anthony Edwards, from whom the rookie says he learns constantly.

“He’s an amazing player, I really learn from him like really every day. I just enjoy to play with him, with the team in general,” Beringer explained about Edwards.

He also highlighted Gobert’s mentorship extending beyond basketball fundamentals.

“Very good, he’s very experienced, I really have fun with him, every day he gives me some advice like on the court and off the court. I have a very good relationship with Rudy,” he stated.

Chris Finch notes some challenges amid impressive feel for Joan Beringer’s game

The abundance of mentorship has facilitated Beringer’s growth, according to head coach Chris Finch.

The coach provided his assessment of the rookie’s adaptation process.

“Good for most part, I think you see some normal rookie stuff, now he’s starting to think more, and it’ll come back to being instinctual,” Finch said.

“I think he’s done a great job with everything that’s coming fast at him. Sometimes we got to slow down a little bit and check how much English he’s really absorbing in the moment. So, we’re pleased.”

“His IQ and feel is outstanding given his experience level. I think there’s things that we need him to do more of in our system that he needs to start adding, but that’ll come,” he added.

Initially, Beringer may not occupy a significant role in the rotation.

However, if he continues learning and adapting quickly to the Timberwolves‘ system requirements, he has potential to eventually become Gobert’s successor at center.
