Timberwolves Rookie Joan Beringer Speaks About Learning From Rudy Gobert
Timberwolves Rookie Joan Beringer Speaks About Learning From Rudy Gobert originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Joan Beringer became the Minnesota Timberwolves' first-round pick at the 2025 NBA Draft, bringing a French center who it's believed could replace the team's current center, Rudy Gobert. Beringer is still unpolished and needs development, but he'll have a great mentor in Gobert. Advertisement Beringer, 18, was one of many centers drafted in the first round, and continued a recent trend of selecting French players. This past season, he played for Slovenia's Cedevita Olimpij, where he averaged 4.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. His team was the Slovenian League champion and Cup winner. In addition, Beringer was the 2025 ABA league leader in blocked shots. Joan Beringer stands with NBA commissioner Adam Silver after being selected as the 17th pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the 2025 NBA Penner-Imagn Images Soon after the 6-foot-11 big man donned a Timberwolves cap and shook hands with Commissioner Adam Silver on stage, he shared his thoughts about his role with the team. "My first feeling it's just to give the energy to help the team to be better to improve. This is really important for me," he said in the team's X video. Advertisement Beringer was then asked what he can learn from his new teammate, Rudy Gobert. "First, because you know I'm a defender like him, I'm like just to have a chance to play with him, to learn from him everyday. Just, you know I'm very happy. I want to immediately start to practice with him and to learn from him," the eager rookie said. Gobert was drafted at No. 27 in the 2014 Draft at age 21. The French center has since excelled in the league, becoming an imposing defender who is a three-time NBA All-Star and four-team NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Beringer is likely looking to accomplish similar success, and learning from Gobert can definitely help with that quite a bit. Advertisement There's also belief that should Gobert leave the team through a trade or free agency, they'll have a capable replacement moving forward. The rookie will likely take some time to develop, but Minnesota seems to have some time on their side. With the roster they currently have, they should still be able to compete in the Western Conference while their future roster members learn and improve.

Is the Club World Cup's Flashy Makeover Ruining Football?
Is the Club World Cup's Flashy Makeover Ruining Football? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FIFA's revamped Club World Cup has truly landed in the USA, bursting with bold innovations. From body cameras on referees to live VAR replays, the tournament feels like a Hollywood blockbuster. But are these changes revolutionizing football or turning it into an Americanized spectacle? Advertisement The 2025 Club World Cup, hosted across the US from June 15 to July 13, showcases 32 so-called elite teams, including Manchester City and Chelsea. FIFA mandates clubs field their strongest squads, with fines of at least $445,000 for withdrawals according to Sky Sports. This ensures star power but sparks debate about player fatigue. Is the Club World Cup a Spectacle or Spectacular? Referees now wear body cameras, broadcasting their perspective live. Fans in stadiums see VAR decisions on giant screens, adding drama and transparency. Semi-automated offside technology, using advanced sensors, promises faster, accurate calls, though some purists argue it disrupts the game's flow. "Superior Player" voted on by the public is surely a winner? The tournament's group-and-knockout format, with massive prize money, aims to rival the Champions League (FIFA hopes). FIFA's decision to reassign ticket holders' seats to fill TV-friendly sections has raised eyebrows, with critics calling it a superficial fix for empty stadiums according to the Daily Mail. There is no doubt this less about passion and more about perceived popularity. Botafogo beating Champions League Winners PSG has been the biggest 'upset' so byThese changes scream spectacle, tailored for American audiences craving entertainment. Live VAR and referee cams feel like reality TV, while the hefty fines ensure a star-studded cast. Yet, some fans on X worry the tournament's soul is lost in the glitz, prioritizing flash over football's gritty essence. Players coming out to glamour and glitz one-by-one is an odd-one! Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia is clearly a fan. He said: "I think it's something special and new for us. I enjoyed it. Why not bring it to the Premier League?" Advertisement He went on to say that whilst a bit show-biz it might be fun, but also noted that being first out might mean a bit of a wait for teammates; which, in England in the cold wet rain might cause a few raised eyebrows. Lop-sided games are no fun for fans or viewers. That should change. The expanded 32-team format, up from seven, boosts inclusivity, featuring clubs from every continent says FIFA. However, whispers of a 2029 expansion to 48 teams and relaxed two-club-per-nation limits have European giants grumbling on X. The balance between global reach and elite quality, teeters. Player welfare remains a hot topic. With packed schedules, forcing clubs to bring top players risks burnout, especially post-season. FIFA's innovations aim to elevate the game, but critics argue they cater more to casual US fans than diehard supporters. The "8-second rule" for goalkeepers has been seen for the first time. The Club World Cup's new vibe is undeniably fun, with tech-driven excitement and a festival-like atmosphere. Yet, the Americanized gloss, think big screens and even bigger bucks, has some fans nostalgic for simpler times. Will FIFA's gamble make this a global celebration or a commercialized circus? Advertisement FIFA's vision is bold, blending cutting-edge tech with football's heart. The body cams and live VAR add intrigue, but the push for spectacle might alienate traditionalists. As the tournament unfolds, its legacy hangs on whether it unites fans or divides them over its flashy new face. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 21, 2025, where it first appeared.
