Skill set, yes.
But overall, much better IMO.
Faried is lighter, way more athletic, better motor, better character.
Take those attribute differences, and put them on Fortson. You get a guy that may not be able to bang with the big boys, but he is agile enough to guard the PnR, adequately deal with switches, run the floor like a deer, finish like a freak, and be an incredible locker room guy. Yet, he has the rebounding knack that a fortson, Evans, Millsap, etc has.
An ellison/gates/scrooge Mcduck version of Amundson is my best comparison I can think of.
