Kenneth Faried, aka The Manimal, would be a perfect combination of aggression and athleticism for the Mavericks on both ends of the floor. The former Morehead State Eagle has been fighting for minutes in Denver with Jusuf Nurkic and Nikola Jokic.

His ability to play defense in the paint and on the perimeter will provide a great deal of help for Dallas, along with his ability to catch the ball on the wing and take it to the basket without hesitation.
