Kenneth Faried as a 1st/2nd option. Since the All-Star break

[kurple]

Nuggets have had a lot of injuries this season. But Faried carried much of the offense on his shoulders when Lawson went down right after the All-Star break and just kept it going till the end of the season

He averaged 19/10 since the all star break. on 56% from the field and 70% from the line.

And A LOT of these points came in post ups. His right hook is money

[a1984volvo]

I hope he can continue that. He is so athletic, I've always wanted to see those kind of numbers from him. Denver hasn't had a ton of options, so it was good to see him step up.

[tjgoHAM]

it's good Denver didn't trade him for Shumpert then huh?

[a1984volvo]

Yea, Shump's lack of a shot for his position is a little worrisome. He is still super young and that knicks team this year was not conducive to player growth to say the least.

We need to see Shumpert play for a different coach, that has a real system. We've seen his potential to be explosive, when he had those huge games in Texas this year.

Would have been such an idiotic move on Denver's part.

i'd love to se shump in denver. just not for manimal

Kid lacks a brain, I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the league in 3-4 years

His hustle & rebounding alone will keep him in the league for at least 5+ years barring injuries, c'mon now

[Fire Colangelo]

How is he defensively? I haven't seen many Nuggets games this year, but I didn't like what I saw from him defensively last year if I remember correctly.

below average. but i still think he will improve.

playing with hickson most of the year doesnt help. LMA is evidence of that

He will give you occasional spectacular blocks but his defense is not good

Overrated Carl Landry could do the same thing and actually do it by scoring one on one rather than being a garbage man. Faried is a very average undersized no defence PF who would be a 6th man on a contender.

[tjgoHAM]

how's faried's jumpshot? I don't watch much of the Nuggets even tho they're my favorite team. But it always seemed to me that Faried got most of his points from rebounds and putbacks and hustle play in general. However from some of the replies it appears he's developed a good post game now.

You're in Madison?

[Inferno]

Damn, didn't expect him to put up 19/10. That's great. :applause:

Lack of defense means he should get 7 mil tops, Denver should let him walk.
