Minnesota Timberwolves take young French center Joan Beringer! | Instant reaction 2025 NBA Draft
[Music] pick in the 2025 NBA draft
[ __ ] wolves select Yan Banji from Stress
that’s Baron J
i I I don’t know i I thought it was I thought we got surprised by another pick a guy that was in the 70s i was like who do they just pick now this is who the Blazers should have taken guys Wolves fans I’m sorry i’m still reacting from the Young Hansen yeah
guys i’m sorry but I even watched a or I even read a pronunciation guide and it said Yan Baron
that’s what I thought it was too um
Adam Silver’s got some different Anyways this is who you guys Hey you guys just uh stole this guy from uh the Blazers I guess somehow uh that’s just crazy um yeah I’m still recovering from that as well i think this is this is the guy in the draft who you can look at like Noah Essen you’re looking at him and you go “Okay like you’re projecting upside.” I think this is this is the type of player where you can project upside just because defensively I think that he is very versatile and is going to be a just plus on defense and I my comp for him is Eves i think that he is that archetype of player physical uh lob threat just a guy that I think overall is just going to be a very good basketball player
yeah um let me scroll back up in my notes from
Yeah scroll up 30 spots yeah let me scroll all the way up to Jean Baron um 611 uh really really encouraging flashes i went back and watched uh the 2024 U8 games where he was playing with SN and Trior and while he didn’t do like a ton you still see the athleticism and this past year at Olympica he had eight block percentage uh he had a 22.1 defense rebound percentage 11.7 offensive rebound percentage so you see those like tangible things from him and then you see the lob thread ability the athleticism the defensive motor the defensive versatility at times um I just like the toughness the motor all those things he is where is he on my board 23 on my board which I understand like it’s lower than where he got picked but in terms of centers and in terms of like guys that I’m willing to bet on here
I’m good with Baron Jay like again the question to me is going to be any sort of shooting not just shooting but like free throw shooting he’s been really bad at free throws his whole career so if that happens then that clearly limits his uh upside and then also just the tunnel vision there’s no passing he fouls a lot and he has to fill out a bit so it’s a it’s a project but
you can see it i don’t need it
you can see it i see it yeah
i agree i agree
