Sħãlïq™ Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – Let the case of Nuggets big man Kenneth Faried be a lesson to all NBA rookies fortunate enough to be drafted by a playoff-caliber team that doesn’t need him in the starting lineup from the first day of training camp.Faried was in the shadows at the start of this season, unsure of his role and whether or not he would spend his season with the Nuggets or with their D-League affiliate. If you weren’t careful, you’d have forgotten he was even on the roster the first few weeks of the season. Faried played in just three games through the end of January.Since then, however, the man known as “Manimal” since his college days, has been one of the most consistently outstanding rookies in the league. (That would explain his lofty perch on my main man Drew Packham‘s Rookie Ladder.)It’s obvious Faried didn’t fret when he wasn’t in the rotation. He kept his head down, kept working and earned the respect of Nuggets coach George Karl and his teammates with his non-stop energy and effort and a relentless approach that fans anywhere should appreciate.Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 ^ Have to agree, Faried reminds me a lot of Gerald Wallace. Just a huge bundle of energy. He is a better rebounder than Gerald though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Definitely a steal at the 25 pick or whatever he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
