Possible PG Solution

[HotRodHundley'sBooze]

Hey all, long time lurker here, finally decided to post because I thought this might be a good idea.

There's this guy from Russia named Alexey Shved, he's like 6'5 and 175 with a sick handle and good athleticism. Already getting interest from several NBA teams as a PG, I figured signing him to something like a 3 year 10 million deal would be nice to at least have him as a backup. Draftexpress said that he plays similar to Goran Dragic (sp?), but he's only 23. Let me know what you guys think!

Well I think the Jazz need to upgrade their PG position but I don't know anything about this guy.

Is he in the draft? Does anyone own his rights?

 

[Jeffrey32]

If he is around when the Jazz select, why not?

A 23 year old who no one here's ever heard of. Sounds great.

Look I know that he's not really a name that people know, but look at his stats, look at the scouting reports on him and watch some tape. He's got some good talent, just wanted to put something new out there.

Duplicate account right?

Never heard of the guy. So I say yes.

Hardly seems like a bad gamble: https://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Alexey-Shved-1097/

No one in the 2nd round is a gamble. But there are a ton of other players I'd rather.

Dude's not in the draft. He can be signed outright.

Don't you have to go through the draft process to be FA eligible?

What the hell? A new poster and he's not getting flamed for his first post??? You've dissapointed me, Jazzfanz....

PS: It's not a bad solution. Real good PG size, very good shooter.

For some reason I thought some one owned his rights he was in the draft a few years ago.

Alexey Shved is a nice PG, definitely better than our current back up PGs. If CSKA had given him more chances instead of stupid Teodosic, they could've won the Euroleague title.

Haha, you contribute to the board very well mate! Especially the Euro 2012 thread wouldn't be the same without you.

One thing I can guarantee about Shved is that he will play smart Basketball most of the time.

Really like this kid from the extensive 3 minutes of youtube footage I just watched.

Quality backup PG.

The only concern of me about him is not being an actual PG, he's a SG or combo guard at best. But he can definitely run offense as a back up PG and actually would be better at PG in the NBA because he's weak physically for the 2. However he has high game IQ and nice shooting touch and passing ability for the 1.
