Kenneth Faried

can take players off the dribble at times too...

he is a midrange away from being borderline all-star

 

Thank God we drafted Mook Morris ahead of him.

 

He's really good but his size will always be a bit of a disability.

 

Yes that class was LOADED!!! So many other players DOMINATING that we could have had!!!

Sure, you can say that was a mistake (certainly looks like it was), but it's really annoying how often this is brought up. Morris is a decent, young player, although most people on here disagree for some reason I cannot figure out.

 

thanks for the reminder

 

Guy is already a 10 and 10 type of player
Sky is limit

 

he is a midrange game away from being an allstar

 

charles barkley says whatup!

 

All the atributes of a great player..He still trying to figure out how to control it all..

 

But he can't win a dunk contest... I don't want this guy

 

yup his first dunk attempt was crappy

 

Ugh, don't remind me!
Of course hindsight is 20/20, but on draftday I was pissed the Rockets took Morris over Faried. Coming out of college at Moorehead State, Faried had the rebounding skills, size, and motor to be the IDEAL NBA PF. I couldn't understand why more teams didn't feel the same.

 

exactly why we traded budinger

 

Playing at a small school is kind of a red flag for teams. A small one, but a red flag nonetheless.

But with dudes like Faried and Lillard becoming big time studs already, I'd imagine teams will be a little more diligent with players like them in the future.

 

That doesn't bode well for Lin, then, or Harden. Neither won their prospective Saturday events.

 

Blue collar old school basketball player. With his work ethic he is a taller version of Chuck Hayes with a bit more skills. Would be a perfect fit for the Rockets.

 

This might be the worst comparison ever. They are nothing alike really. Hayes overacheives to get to his level of play, Faried is just scratching the surface & is already better than hayes ever was/will be. Manimal needs to add some weight & his shot is disgusting ugly, but that aside, dude is a monster. Love the way he plays. With the contract Denver gave Lawson along with Iggy, Gallo, McGee, Chandler, etc the Nugs are gonna have cap tax issues very soon & thats not even considering Faried being extended off his rookie contract soon. Wouldnt mind going after Gallo (like $9-10mil/yr) and turning him into our stretch 4, perfect fit IMO.

 

Love this guy. All motor, always hustling and a board hog. I watch a lot of Denver games on League Pass and the I seriously wish he were in a Rox uniform.
