Analysis:
We can’t call Faried overlooked anymore, he has shot up everyone’s draft boards these first few weeks. He has dominated the rebounding and is quietly averaging 2.9 spg and 2.6 bpg. One trait that we have seen that translates to the NBA game very well has been rebounding; Faried is the NCAA leader in rebounding (and was second last year). This season we have seen announcers gush over his skillset and motor to the point they comparred him to Dennis Rodman; a little premature. At this rate Faried is a lottery pick and their is no reason to think he will slow down.
