    What is it with you guys and undersized players? Can we for one year just go big on our much needed positions... We need a 6'8 SF we need a 6'11-7'0 center and a 6'10 backup PF... Wether it's through trade or pick who gives a dam we need size!!!

    I haven't seen Faried play but, if his numbers are anything to go by, this guy has one hell of a motor and fantastic timing which indicates a knack for the ball and is defensively inclined. His size may be questionable at the 4 but if he can run the wing for us at the 3, he'd be a great complimentary player around Scola and Martin. Possibly a combination of Millsap and G. Wallace or is he more like J. Smith?

    To those more familiar with him, is he athletically capable to keep up with 3s in the pros? If he is, he's an interesting prospect to say the least.

    What's the knock on this guy?

    Kenneth Faried will never play the small forward position. Never. He's purely a power forward. Just watch the guy play and you'll realize that he has no business playing on the wing.

    I see. Thanks for the response. I was just reading up on him a bit and was intrigued with write ups on him. If the opinions and figures are an indicator, he reads like great complimentary player. Even if not for the Rox, an interesting prospect all the same. I hope the guy makes it to a proper team. I'm a big fan hustle guys and this guy reads like one.

    Weird, I dont have insider either, but I can see it :)

    Its basically just a chart of Hollingers PER metric for college players. It has Faried as #1.
