DX has spurs taking him 2nd round now. Never heard of him until now.

Anyone know anything about this kid? Bruno?

[Bruno]

Shved is known as a very talented young player for years but has barely played because he was with a top team in Europe (CSKA Moscow). He has been loaned this year to a weak Russian team and has produced.

I haven't seen him play a lot since he spend a lot of time on the bench but I've like what I saw from him with a great combination of size, skills and athleticism.

He would be one of the best "draft and stash" candidate for Spurs at #49. He is also a long term prospect as he is under contract with CSKA until 2013 and they won't give up on him after all the time/money/energy they spend to develop him for many years.

[Bruno]

I also wouldn't be surprised to see Spurs drafting him. They haven't been afraid to draft players with complicate contract situations like Scola. Spurs are also the NBA team that knows him the best since their head scout for the Europe has worked for years in CSKA.

[DesignatedT]

Thanks. He does look pretty raw but definitely wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs took him.

[Darkwaters]

At 49 he'd be a great pick.

draft'n'stash

He's under iron clad contract until 2013.

[timvp]

Yeah, the Russian Brent Barry has been around forever. As far as draft-and-stash prospects go that could be available at 49, he's pretty damn intriguing. The Spurs are one of the few teams that would have the patience knowing it would probably be a long azz time before he thinks about the NBA.

[EricB]

sounds like Sanikidze all over again.

Would prefer to take a flyer on a kid that could be a 12th man or Toros stud potential Spur down the road ala Alonzo Gee type.

[024]

that video on nbadraft of shved bricking so many practice three pointers isn't very encouraging. hardly the next brent barry or penny hardaway.

[SenorSpur]

Is this kid, in any way, similar to De Colo?

Enough of mid-sized combo guards.

True true! We are used to take risk by drafting Europe players and we already have 2 players that have shined and were a late draft pick!

[ABrooks111]

Is this dude seriously 6'5 161 like Draft Express says? I think I'm too thin at 6'4" 170. Jesus.


I'd rather draft and stash this guy than one of the "project bigs," though.

[Edward]

I want the Suns to get him. As someone mentioned in this thread, 2nd round picks are better used on European perimeter players who have a great work ethic, learn the right attitude and the right way to play over project American bigs who have a terrible work ethic and should still be in college.

It was his size/weight years ago.

Shved was measured last year at the Eurocamp. He was 6'6" with Shoes and weighted 186 lbs.

[lotr1trekkie]

Unless the Spurs have some mega-plan for the rest of Duncan's reign, do we really have time for Godo? Carpe diem!

[TheGreatYacht]

21pts & 7 assists

He might hit 30 points before Kawhi does

Go to sleep already faggot. You got tomorrow to look like a dumbass again. :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Are you going to post 6 diversion threads when Matrix chokes again? :lmao

[MR-Clutch]

I think he would make a good addition to our bench if we don't get Marco back.

[testies]

can we get barbosa? much better chuker than porker

What was wrong with our nigga that night? :lol :lmao

Shved is just too quick tbh, and Kawhi struggles against quicker guards.

On the bright side, that game fucked the Knicks out of the #1 pick :lol

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

I would actually like to see the Spurs make a move for Shved. He is a Manu protype player and I think he would thrive in the Spurs passing system. IMO, i think he has more potential than Beli on both sides of the ball. And at this point, he would be the cheaper option.

[exstatic]

Shved is a poor man's DeColo. He fucking sucks, and is not even a roster quality NBA player, let alone a rotational quality one.

Obviously you never watch Shved play. He is way quicker than De Colo. Almost as quick as Manu was in his prime.

He was avg. 15 ppg and nearly 4 apg with the Knicks this season. Grant it was the Knicks but still, I think he could be a very good system player for the Spurs.

Here is a pretty good list of FA SG to fill Beli spot if he leaves.

He has a 4.5M qualifying offer that is well within the Knicks price range but do they want him. I presume they were thinking he was going to be an expiring deal they could get off the books when they picked him up from Houston. If the Knicks balk at his return, how much does it take to bring him in?

[TheCerebral1]

He's not worth the food stamps to bring him here. Sorry.

[exstatic]

He had a full season where he shot 32%...32 fucking percent. His career mark is 37 fucking percent. He is a scrub. I don't care what he "looks like", or how high he can jump or how quick he is. He can't play NBA basketball at a passable level after 3 years.
