THE SEASON SO FAR
Joan Beringer's first twenty games of the 2025-26 season were defined by a sudden mid-winter breakout, transforming him from a garbage-time afterthought into a highly efficient interior wrecking ball. Early on, his eagerness often betrayed him. Look at 11/07 vs UTA, where his perfect shooting still yielded a -1.9 impact score because of a disastrous tendency to foul jump shooters. But something clicked in January. On 01/10 vs CLE, he crammed six points into just three minutes, generating an absurd +9.5 impact score simply by exploiting a sleeping interior defense. That explosive cameo earned him a real rotation spot on 01/17 vs SAS, where he posted 10 points and 8 rebounds in 23 minutes. His massive +12.2 impact score in that contest stemmed directly from excellent weak-side defensive anchoring and hyper-efficient finishing around the rim. When he stops committing careless fouls and sticks strictly to rim deterrence and dunker-spot finishes, Beringer is a genuinely disruptive force.
Joan Beringer spent most of this stretch as a microscopic blip at the end of the bench before erupting into an absolute interior force in the season's final days. When he was thrust into the starting lineup on Feb 22 vs PHI, his flawless interior shooting yielded a dismal -4.2 impact score because opposing bigs mercilessly exploited his defensive liabilities in the paint. Despite racking up nine points and eight rebounds on Apr 08 vs ORL, his inefficient 4-for-10 finishing around the basket dragged his overall impact down to a miserable -6.8. He looked entirely out of his depth. Then, a switch flipped. Beringer bullied his way back into the starting five and unleashed pure havoc on Apr 12 vs NOP, dominating the opposition for 24 points and 13 rebounds. His elite work on the glass and sheer physical dominance in the painted area fueled a monstrous +18.6 impact score, completely rewriting the book on his ceiling as a rotational big.
