A monster. That’s what all the scouts are saying about this kid, or better yet, grown-ass man. The Brick City native is a savage on the boards and will be looking to put Kenyon Martin out of a job.

Faried led Morehead State to the 2011 NCAA tourney while putting up a beastly 17 and 14 along with a sure-to-please-George Karl 2 steals and blocks per contest as well.
Before his big day at the Prudential Center, we talked to Kenneth at the Sean John Official NBA Pre-Draft Style Suite with Conversion Sports to see just how Complex he really is.
