Shortly after the Denver Nuggets drafted Jarred Vanderbilt, Kenneth Faried was dealt in a trade which saw him and Darrell Arthur shipped to the Brooklyn in an effort to get below the tax threshold.
While Faried had fallen out of the rotation, he still brought a lot of intangibles to the table which are sometimes hard to find in today’s NBA. He was a hustler and an expert offensive rebounder despite being undersized for his position at the power forward spot. Not to mention, the energy he brought night in and night out was second to none.
How will the Denver Nuggets be able to replace this type of effort?
