2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Kenneth Faried
Position: Power Forward
Size: 6-8, 225
School: Morehead State, Senior
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: After testing the waters last summer, Kenneth Faried has seemed to solidify his status as a first-round pick due to relentless work ethic and effort on the glass. Some team could fall in love with him, and Faried could be off the board in the mid teens. More than likely, the early-mid 20s seem like a more probably landing spot for the nation’s leading rebounder.
Player Comparison: Kris Humphries. Faried has relied on his athleticism and non-stop motor to be a double-double machine at the college level. Humprhies is the same mold of player who is posting career numbers this season. Neither guy is overly physical, and both are fairly limited to the paint with their offensive game, but Faried should be able to find a role in the NBA like Humprhies has.
