ESPN Expert Crowns Wolves as 1st Round NBA Draft Winner
Last year, the Minnesota Timberwolves made their mark on the NBA Draft by trading up for Kentucky Wildcats guard Rob Dillingham. Wolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly was taking calls to move up or down from the 17th overall pick this cycle, but it never came to fruition. Instead, the Timberwolves ultimately stayed put, just outside the draft lottery, and selected French 7-footer, Joan Beringer. Minnesota hopes that fellow countryman Rudy Gobert can help ease Beringer's transition to pro basketball in America. Advertisement The new 18-year-old big man just learned how to speak English recently, a language that reportedly took him only 7 months to figure out. Much like Rudy, Beringer is known for his shot-blocking and defensive abilities. He can also run and stretch the floor in a way Gobert cannot. Related Headlines Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images The 2025 NBA Draft is not over yet. This is the second-straight offseason that the NBA Draft has been split into two days and the Minnesota Timberwolves happen to hold the first overall selection in tonight's second round, a pick GM Matt Lloyd thinks they will get future 1st round offers for throughout the day. Advertisement Joan Beringer draws glowing praise for Minnesota Timberwolves But let's stay focused on Minnesota's 2025 first round pick, because the Timberwolves are receiving a lot of praise Thursday morning for the Joan Beringer selection. Most NBA Draft pundits see Beringer as a cinch NBA talent, once he gets a couple years to grow into his potential. But one draft expert, Jeremy Woo (ESPN), even tagged the Wolves as Wednesday night's biggest non-lottery winner, noting 'it's hard to find centers with his caliber of physical traits who can also run the floor and protect the rim'. Joan Beringer to the Timberwolves at No. 17. I'm high on Beringer's long-term outlook — it's hard to find centers with his caliber of physical traits who can also run the floor and protect the rim. His age and relative inexperience leave a ton of room for him to improve. Getting to develop behind another Frenchman in Rudy Gobert, who could be a valuable mentor as Beringer makes a major leap to the NBA level, could be an ideal situation to help him tap into his significant ability. This might take some time to pay off, but as Minnesota continues to try to build a winner with Anthony Edwards, landing a talent of this caliber and also addressing a long-term need could be a real coup. Jeremy Woo – ESPN At just 18 years old, Beringer is a late basketball bloomer, having only played the game for four years of his life, to this point. Last year, he played his first professional season, as a member of Cedevita Olimpija (Slovenia). Advertisement Without a doubt, the Minnesota Timberwolves grabbed one of the biggest risers during the draft process and one of the highest-ceiling big man talents available in 2025. Related: Lore, A-Rod Re-Up on Threat to Privately Fund New Timberwolves Arena It's possible that a couple short years from now, Beringer develops into the perfect replacement for Rudy Gobert, except he won't require the same trade haul that the MN Timberwolves sent to the Utah Jazz a few years ago. The draft board appeared to be falling in the Minnesota Timberwolves favor for much of the first round. That was until the Khaman Maluach slide ended, and Georgetown's Thomas Sorber — who the Wolves were connected to throughout the pre-draft process — went two picks earlier (15th) to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Advertisement But if the teenage Joan Beringer is their consolation prize, then the Timberwolves have to feel pretty good about how the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft went down. Now, it's time to have another good night in round two. Related Headlines

Van der Poel edges out Pogacar to claim yellow jersey
Mathieu van der Poel has pipped Tadej Pogacar to victory on the second stage of the Tour de France to take the yellow jersey from his Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate Jasper Philipsen. Van der Poel edged an uphill sprint from overall favourites Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard before collapsing to the ground in Boulogne-sur-Mer, the end point of the hard-fought 209km stage from Lauwin-Planque, the longest of this year's Tour. It was the Dutchman's second career Tour stage win, and the second to bring him yellow after his win on the Mur-de-Bretagne in 2021, when he held it for six days. Van der Poel delivered on his status as favourite for a classics-style stage on Sunday that came down to the final three climbs of a rolling day across northern France. A series of attacks split the peloton into pieces and set up a ferocious battle up the short, steep rise to the line. Former world champion Julian Alaphilippe was the first to launch a major dig but Van der Poel and Pogacar were quickly on to his wheel, waiting for the finish line to come into view with a little over 100 metres to go. When Van der Poel opened the taps Pogacar responded but the world champion could not come around the man who wore the rainbows before him. "It was super difficult, the final, harder than I thought," Van der Poel said. "I was really motivated because it's been four years since I won my first stage on the Tour de France so it was about time I won a second one. Of course people put me as a favourite but if you see the riders that were in front on the climbs, I think I did a really good job to be there... "It's a dream for a team, these first two days, and everything that comes now is just a bonus." Van der Poel leads by four seconds from Pogacar, with Vingegaard a further two seconds back after bonus seconds were applied. Pogacar took the king of the mountains jersey, almost accidentally, as he led the group over the penultimate climb of the Cote de Saint-Etienne-au-Mont. Philipsen had been distanced on the Cote d'Outreau, the last categorised climb of the day, coming home 31 seconds down to hand the jersey to his Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate. The start of the stage was held up by 15 minutes as teams were delayed getting to Lauwin-Planque in some miserable weather, but the sun eventually came out as the race heated up. Vingegaard, so active in Saturday's crosswinds, again looked spritely with the two-time Tour winner the first to push on as they came over the Cote d'Outreau to ensure it would be a selective finish. This time Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic stuck with the front group, but the Ineos Grenadiers' Carlos Rodriguez lost 31 seconds. The highest placed Australian was Bahrain Victorious rider Jack Haig, who was 36th. Compatriot Ben O'Connor was 43rd with Harry Sweeney 49th and Kaden Groves just outside the top 50 in 53rd. O'Connor, of Team Jayco AlUla, Australia's main classification hope, is up to 10th in the overall standings. Haig is 32nd. Monday brings a flat stage for sprinters, 178.3km from Valenciennes to the coastal city of Dunkerque.

Euro 2025: Norway overcomes Finland with Graham Hansen's late goal to win Group A
SION, Switzerland (AP) — Norway winger Caroline Graham Hansen showed Sunday why she was second in the Ballon d'Or vote last year to her superstar Barcelona teammate Aitana Bonmatí. Graham Hansen lifted Norway into the quarterfinals of the Women's European Championships with a decisive late goal in a 2-1 win over an impressive Finland which deserved more. It meant Norway became the first team in the knockout rounds as the winner of Group A after host Switzerland beat Iceland 2-0 in the later game Sunday. In the 84th minute of a tied game, there seemed little danger when Graham Hansen got the ball tight on the right wing marked by two Finland opponents 40 meters (yards) from goal. She dribbled past both players detailed to stop her, darted into the penalty area, met two more defenders, deceived them and created space to float a deft chip that went into the net off the far post. Maybe it was a cross aimed for Norway captain Ada Hegerberg but it still looked great. Hegerberg, a Ballon d'Or winner, put her hands to her head as if in disbelief at what Graham Hansen had done. 'It was a half-shot, half-cross,' Graham Hansen acknowledged. 'If it wasn't going in, it was going to Ada. You have to make something happen out of nothing.' Just three minutes earlier, she had missed a much easier chance to win the game by scooping a shot over the bar when having almost too much time to think and pick her spot. 'You maybe feel like that was the chance that could have secured the victory,' Graham Hansen said. 'But you can't stay in the past.' It left Finland coach Marko Saloranta praising 'a world-class player, among the top three players in the world in my opinion.' It gave Norway a second 2-1 win at Euro 2025 after being outshined for much of the game. Norway had opened Wednesday with a come-from-behind win over Switzerland which had dominated the first half. 'This result was brutal after the performance,' Saloranta said in translated comments. 'We really should have won this match.' Norway moves on Norway now sits atop Group A with six points. Finland is on three, from its opening-day 1-0 win over Iceland, and Switzerland also has three points. Switzerland plays Finland in the final round of Group A games on Thursday. Norway holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over either team if they end tied on six points. Iceland was eliminated Sunday ahead of playing Norway in its last game. Norway has been severely tested at Euro 2025 yet will be in the quarterfinals — likely avoiding Spain. 'It's the quality of a good team that we find a way to win,' Norway coach Gemma Grainger said, noting her side could have been three goals ahead before Finland stepped up. Finland's fightback Norway led in the third minute when Graham Hansen had forced an own-goal from Finland defender Eva Nyström after excellent play on the right wing. Oona Sevenius deservedly leveled for Finland in the 32nd, showing fine balance to direct a rising left-foot shot from 16 yards (meters). Norway was again robbed of the ball in its own half by effective pressing. For all its tidy play, Finland was lucky not to go two goals down. Norway struck the crossbar and a post from back-to-back corners, then Hegerberg was denied by goalkeeper Anna Koivunen's brave blocking save. Finland dominated play midway through the second half and forced Norway goalkeeper Cecilie Fiskerstrand into diving saves from shots by Katariina Kosola and Eveliina Sumannen, whose effort was tipped on to a post. Next stage Norway will go to Geneva on July 16 to play the first quarterfinal against the runner-up in Spain's Group B. Either Switzerland or Finland will play the Group B winner — likely Spain — in Bern on July 18. ___ AP soccer:
