“Manimal” as they know him in Denver and around the league seems to be on the outs in Denver. His tenure with the Nuggets is definitely coming to a close, and there are multiple teams across the league that could use his abilities.
Kenneth Faried has been one of Denver’s top players since he was drafted in the 2011 NBA Draft. He has averaged 12.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.9 blocks while also shooting over 54%. Faried has been a key contributor for Denver since his arrival, but he essentially “peaked” as a rookie, as he only averaged two more points and one more rebound in his best season of his career.
