Indiana Pacers Offseason Prediction Has One Major Flaw
The Indiana Pacers, this offseason, are expected to make moves to solidify their status as a title contender. Myles Turner is the only major free agent who can leave, and the Pacers would be smart to re-sign him. They have ample young talent to make a trade, although running things back with the same roster seems like a better strategy, especially after they marched to the Conference Finals for the second season in a row. Advertisement They do own their own draft pick and will select 23rd overall. Regardless of what happens with Turner, the Pacers could shore up their frontcourt, and a mock draft by The Athletic has Indiana select Joan Beringer, a French center currently playing in the Slovenian League for Cedevita Olimpija. Beringer is one of the more raw prospects in the draft, but he is a strong defender, a constant lob threat, and can run the open court. In the Pacers' fast offense, he sounds like the ideal running mate for Tyrese Haliburton, although there are a lot of kinks to work out. In 47 games split up in league play and the EuroCup, Beringer averaged 4.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. Advertisement He is not a good free-throw shooter at all, and could be fouled on purpose in crunch time, although if he hits his ceiling, he could be one of the most exciting players in the league, especially on defense. He's not without faults and might slip out of the first round. While he seems to be an elite defensive player, he is prone to fouling, can't space the floor that well, and needs to add weight. If the Pacers can keep Turner on the roster and develop Beringer for a season or two, it will almost certainly pay off.

ESPN analyst names Joan Beringer as favorite European draft prospect
Joan Beringer is projected to be a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NBA draft, and the Frenchman recently earned praise from ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla. Beringer is averaging 4.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks on 61% shooting from the field in 51 games with Cedevita Olimpija in Slovenia. He has scored in double figures six times, including a season-high 12 points and five rebounds on March 4. Advertisement The 6-foot-11 forward boasts a reported 7-foot, 4-inch wingspan and is highly touted for his versatility, athleticism and rim protection. He is considered raw offensively, but has the tools to develop into a productive player at the next level, which has stood out to Fraschilla. Beringer has also represented France internationally at the 2024 FIBA U18 EuroBasket. He averaged 9.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and one assist on 70.5% shooting from the field in seven games, helping France to a fifth-place finish in Finland. The 18-year-old is among a talented group of international prospects, joining the likes of Noa Essengue, Kasparas Jakučionis, Khaman Maluach, Ben Saraf and Nolan Traoré, among others. They are all considered first-round picks, with some expected to go in the lottery. Advertisement Beringer will be a late arrival to the United States for the predraft process, with Cedevita Olimpija on track to qualify for the ABA League playoffs next month. He will likely have the opportunity to participate in a draft combine in June for prospects still playing with their international teams. The 2025 NBA draft will occur June 25-26 in New York City.
