He is a reliable source of rebounds in all fantasy formats with his greatest value coming from his ability to consistently grab offensive boards (8th in the NBA). If Faried can make even modest improvements to his defensive game this offseason and increase his number of minutes on the court, the 23-year-old power forward could put up even better numbers next season.","date":"Mon May 27"},"fullName":"Kenneth Faried","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The \"Manimal\" may be undersized (6-foot-8, 228 pounds), but what he lacks in height, he more than makes up for with quickness, athleticism and energy in the paint. Faried has a motor that is almost unmatched among his peers; he fights for every loose ball, consistently beats defenders down the court and is adept at grabbing (and capitalizing on) offensive rebounds. His skills translate well on paper, too: He averaged 11.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks in just 25.2 minutes per game last season after the All-Star break. From a fantasy perspective, Faried is essentially Paul Millsap lite, minus the free throw shooting. Next year, with more minutes on the way as a result of Al Harrington's departure, we may even be able to remove the \"lite\" from that comparison.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Oct 10"},"playerRater30DAY":0.7,"playerRater15DAY":-1,"positionRank":17}
