Kenneth Faried

After playing in 25 of the first 29 games of the season and averaging 6.6 points and 5.2 rebounds across 16.0 minutes during that stretch, Faried fell out of the rotation in Denver last year. He wound up playing in just eight of the final 53 games and was clearly designated a player that wasn't in the team's plans for the future. As a result, the Nuggets executed a salary dump this offseason, sending Faried and Darrell Arthur to the Nets, in addition to a pair of future draft picks, in exchange for Isaiah Whitehead. While Arthur was waived by Brooklyn, Faried remains on the roster and could potentially contribute right away. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Jarrett Allen appear to be the top two guys at power forward and center, respectively, which means Faried should battle for a depth role. His main competition will come in the form of Ed Davis, who is currently the favorite to land backup duties. That said, the two will likely battle for positioning throughout camp and the preseason. Depending on where he lands in the pecking order, Faried could see an uptick in his workload following the change in scenery, though he'll still struggle to be a viable Fantasy asset in the bulk of leagues. Look for his main contribution to be his veteran mentorship to a young guy like Allen.
