Joan Beringer, an 18-year-old French center and projected top-20 NBA draft pick, announced his entry into the 2025 draft. Currently playing for KK Cedevita Olimpija in Slovenia, Beringer has emerged from relative obscurity, having only started playing basketball in 2021 due to a late growth spurt. Averaging 4.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game, he credits his teammates for his success and reflects on his challenging path to the draft, highlighting his prior dedication to soccer before transitioning to basketball.
"It's been my dream to play in the NBA. It's a good moment to go. I want to say thank you to my teammates. They made everything a lot easier for me."
"I first started playing basketball in the street with my friends. Just for fun. I played football before, and there was a basketball court nearby the field."
