Kenneth Faried

Cangrejeros de Santurce (BSN) signed experienced 35-year-old USA ex-international forward Kenneth Faried (203cm-102kg-1989, college: Morehead State). It is actually his comeback to Cangrejeros as he has played here before. He played last season at Unahotels Reggio Emilia in Italian Serie A. In 22 games, he had 8.0ppg and 6.7rpg (leader!!!). He also played 10 games in Basketball Champions League where he recorded 9.9ppg and 7.9rpg. Faried helped them to make it to the quarterfinals.
In 2011, he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets (NBA) in the first round (22nd overall). He graduated from Morehead State, and it will be his 15th season in pro basketball.
Faried also represented the USA at the World Cup in Spain 11 years ago. Faried's team won Gold and he averaged over 12 ppg.
He is a very experienced player. Faried has played in nine different countries on four different continents (Europe, Asia, Latin America, and of course North America). He has played professionally in China (Guangsha Lions), Mexico (Soles), Russia (PBC CSKA Moscow), Venezuela (Guaiqueries), NBA (Houston Rockets), Puerto Rico (Leones), NBA G League (Austin Spurs, Grand Rapids Gold, and Capitanes de Ciudad de Mexico), and NBA Summer League (Portland Trail Blazers).
He won the NBA Southwest Division championship title in 2019. Faried was also voted Latinbasket.com All-Mexican LNBP Forward of the Year in 2024. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Santurce.
