Kenneth Faried=steal of the draft

[RoseCity07]

You think Paul Allen is the reason Microsoft is a success? Paul Allen is notoriously know for being a bad businessman. He has failed at almostall business ventures outside of M$.

But Faried will be the best rebounder in basketball.

i was about to post how dumb a statement this is, then i checked the stats.

he is an elite rebounder already, he just needs more minutes to make his raw numbers look more impressive.

[imdaman99]

i thought shumpert was a helluva pick too. he has the ability to be a lockdown defender with very good offense, once he matures.

Chuck said it himself during the draft about Faried. It didn't matter that he played for a small school in Kentucky (Morehead St.). He was by far the best rebounder in college basketball and if there's one thing that always translates from college to the pros, it's hustle and rebounding. He is the NCAA all-time leader in rebounds...

Btw, Faried completely carried that Morehead St. squad to a 13 seed last year and to their win over 4th seeded Louisville.

Watched Kenneth Farried play today, am I the only one to think this guy has amazing potential?

knew this guy was gonna beast on draft day

[blacknapalm]

i would still nominate thomas for this considering he was one pick away from being undrafted. that said, this guy is an manimal like his nickname implies. i had him high on my unofficial draft boards. he has a non-stop motor. you can't sleep on him and he has great timing on his rebounds. millsap was a beast rebounder in college. they both share the fact that they played for relatively small schools. if you saw this guy in the march madness tourney, you could tell he was going to be an impact player. superstar? of course not. a solid role player that almost all teams could use? you bet. he's kind of a cross between a more athletic haslem and kenyon martin

After the first 10 picks, I'd pick the guy that plays hard, has alot of heart and brings some intensity. That's Faried, & i'm sure every fan of the nuggets opposing team will feel the same way.

Sure but there were plenty of indications he'd be a good pro anyway. Rebounding translates (from college) to pros better than any other stat and he's one of the greatest college rebounders ever.

My projected sleepers (or expect better production than draft position guys) were
Faried: (see above)
Mirotic:Typical can't come over right away/will he come over concerns scare teams off of a guy with way more talent than a lot of guys picked ahead of him
K Leonard: Was tabbed at about the 5 range and slipped badly, awesome physical tools, again rebounded well in college (iirc) and showed Marion-lite potential. Wizards took Vesely instead (ugh).

[IamRAMBO24]

John Stockton. Period.

16th pick overall?

Not to too shabby for GOAT pg.

He was fortunate the best rookie rebounder Kanter didn't play last year..

[blazerjimmy]

Sure am glad that my Blazers passed on this kid and were able to pick up Raymond Felton...........

[EvanW]

He was fortunate the best rookie rebounder Kanter didn't play last year..

Faried is looking a lot better than Kanter right now.

[GOBB]

I think almost every draft pick has been called the "steal of the draft".

undersized good rebounder hustles
millsap is a lot better on offense tho
