NBA

Faried was selected in the 2011 NBA draft process in 22nd place by the Denver Nuggets . In his first season he impressed with 10.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game and hit 58.6% from the field. He also reached the play-offs with the nuggets . As a reward, he was named to the first NBA all-rookie team and third in the rookie of the year election . In his second season he took part in the BBVA Rising Stars Game . He led his selection to victory with 40 points and 10 rebounds and was then elected MVP of the game.
