I liked the Kenneth Faried addition. I thought it was a good pickup at a time when the team, hurt by injuries, sorely needed help in the middle. I thought when Clint Capela returned, Faried might fit nicely as a backup five.
But I’ll be honest — that was the extent of it. Never at any point did I envision him playing power forward at all in Houston’s system.
Capela is back now and it’s clear the Houston Rockets saw things I did not. They have bigger plans for Faried than just spot minutes.
