it’s the roster of young talent that is making Team USA so much fun to watch and it’s helping to make them an unstoppable force in group play. Not that the teams in Group C are much competition but the Americans are starting to come together better than before and it’s promising for what we can expect to see out of the rising stars in the NBA this year.
One of those players is Kenneth Faried, who is lighting it up for Team USA which is making Denver Nuggets fans back home very excited about what this season will hold. But for now, Faried is dominating for Team USA and everyone is loving it.
Faried showed off his defensive skill against Ukraine on Wednesday but he also showed off his offensive skills after taking a dish from Kyrie Irving and slamming it home.
He’s been on the cusp for a while now, but this is the season that Faried might be taking his talents to All-Star and superstar levels.
