Draft Profile: Morehead St. PF Kenneth Faried

Kenneth Faried #35 College: Morehead State Class: Senior NBA Position: Power Forward Height: 6'8" Weight: 220 lbs Birthday: 11/19/1989

Player Biography: While Kenneth Faried was an undersized and unheralded recruit out of high school, he has developed into a legitimate first round prospect and one of my favorite players in this draft. Quite simply, there is always room in the NBA for players like Kenneth Faried. He leads the nation in rebounding (over 14 per game) and excels as a defender. "That's Dennis Rodman all over again," Florida head coach Billy Donovan said. "If I was an NBA general manager I'd be taking him with my pick. That's what a next-level guy looks like. He just totally destroyed our frontcourt."
