Hardly. He was drafted 22nd overall. Everybody whiffed on Faried, and if the draft were somehow re-done he would be a top 5 pick. Not even the Nuggets knew what they had when they selected him, which is why they resigned Nene only to hurriedly offload him when they realized how expendable Faried made him and his contract.
awesome player. like Landry who plays bigger than he is. but he plays bigger than that! PPat on the other hand.. . Thompson's poor decisions and 2 missed ft's caused the game.
