Minnesota Timberwolves fans were hoping to see Joan Beringer earn a consistent role after a stellar 13-point, five-rebound rotational debut against the Milwaukee Bucks last week. However, they were disappointed when Beringer played just seven minutes when the Wolves' frontcourt returned to full strength. Beringer stepped up again, though, pouring in 10 points and eight rebounds against the San Antonio Spurs with Rudy Gobert sidelined and Naz Reid leaving the game with an injury.
In the two games since, though, Beringer has played eight total minutes. This level of production against two stellar opposing frontcourts shouldn't be ignored -- but unfortunately, it is.
