Kenneth Faried Turning Into Steal of Draft?

Basketball News & NBA Rumors

The 19th and 21st picks of last year’s NBA draft play sparingly; the 20th and 23rd picks play overseas. But the 22nd pick is tallying so many points, rebounds and steals that he could be known as just that — a steal.

“I’m very excited for the rookie,” Nuggets big man Nene said of teammate Kenneth Faried. “He’s great, doing an amazing job. I just hope he slows down on the defensive rebounds when I play with him because he stole a couple of rebounds from me.”
