Watch: Wolves rookie Joan Beringer starts Summer League in style

That's what the 18-year-old Frenchman, who the Wolves took with the 17th pick in this year's draft, can bring to the table. He's listed at 6'10" and 230 pounds, with a 7'4" wingspan and all kinds of leaping ability. Rim protection is one of his greatest strengths.

Beringer added a third block on his opening stint of the game and two more early in the second quarter, including an emphatic one against fellow first-rounder Derik Queen.

He also showed what's capable of on the offensive end of the floor, displaying some impressive touch on a short hook baseline hook shot for his first Summer League bucket.

He then caught a lob from Terrence Shannon Jr., which figures to be one of the primary ways Beringer scores in the NBA.

Beringer's first stint ended with a hard fall when his poster dunk attempt was blocked by Missi. Fortunately, he was OK.

Update: Beringer finished the first half with 11 points, 5 blocks, 4 rebounds, and a steal.
