Nuggets Offseason 4-on-4: Kenneth Faried

With a constantly changing role and various injuries that limited him to only 61 games, Kenneth Faried went through an up-and-down season in Denver. From opening night onward, his starting spot was stripped from him, as Denver attempted to play Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic together, and tried to fit Faried into a role as the backup center — one that didn’t play to his strengths.

Faried then returned to the starting lineup on Nov. 12 but was playing alongside the paint-centric Nurkic and not the versatile Jokic.
