Totally understand that. Someone shared their opinion that he might be a liability on the boards. I was simply reacting to that. I guess I could've phrased it differently but there have been tons of guys with height who couldn't rebound because they didn't box out or just lacked the desire. With that being said I personally am not worried about either with him. He has good footwork from what I've seen and like you said the strength will come but he has the fundamentals.
do you even basketball bro?
you probably dont even watch the games, he boxes out every single time and rarely gives up offensive boardsi hate when ppl say stuff like this and prolly dont even play ball
You having a bad morning or something bro?

OKB posted about it in the NBA thread, but players at his height historically aren't the greatest rebounders. But just because they might not grab the most rebounds it doesn't mean they're a negative in that regard... they'll often draw more attention because of their size which opens up rebounds for other players. I believe despite Roy Hibbert's average rebounding numbers for someone his size, his team rebounds far better when he's on the floor.

This.
But with just all Bargs besides Prok... Maybe throw Billy King in there somewhere

Alexey Shved has signed a three-season deal with Russian club Khimki Moscow with NBA outs included.

i wonder how much hes getting. i doubt its more than 2.8mil USD.
- 11,640

Why? He's good enough to get a roster spot on an NBA team. Doesn't make sense to me.

might be more money or he might just miss home.

Good, don't want him

Wait, what!? LOL you became a fan off of an interview. His court play will determine if I'm a fan. Always been partial to actions vs words.

Probably getting paid more over there.

No way. Don't believe it. He's good enough to average 8-10 ppg in the NBA. If guys like Shumpert can get 4 years $40 Million, there's no reason why he can't get something in the NBA paying him more than $2 million.

Shved is a fringe guy. Shumpert might be a bum but he's a proven bum
Shved got a good rep in Europe. He wants more than the 2.8 being offered. Even if he's making less he's might be provided a crib, a car and no taxes.

remember when that bum Josh Childress got paid

I believe Shved is making more than $2.8 mil out in Europe.
You have to also understand that Shved was simply playing out his contract this season. He had no choice basically.
But in the last year Shved has been on 4 NBA teams all across the country (Minnesota, Philly, Houston, NY), he is not an American and might have just wanted no part of going through that process again.
By taking the $2.8 mil from the Knicks he would basically become a "fringe" player once again and could very likely be dealt again. It might have been more than the money. He might have wanted the Knicks (or someone else) to invest more than that in him to avoid constantly being moved around as a trade piece/throw in as opposed to a basketball player.
He has stability back in Russia. And money. Cant fault the dude for wanting that. I wish him the best.
EDIT: I think Shved actually wanted the full $2.8 mil exception the Knicks had left to use, and we wouldnt offer all of that. So it makes sense in him leaving because we wouldnt invest our full loyalty to him in the form of the full $2.8 million offer. In addition to him making about or more than that in Russia, which I believe he is.
I think the only thing that could have enticed Shved to stay in the States and go through the unpredictable NBA process again was money. If the money is equal, or around equal (which it was without the $2.8 mil offer), dude prefers the stability of Russia. Again, cant fault him for that.

Making more in Russia than what the Knicks offered plus perks these teams offer
Can't wait to watch him in the VTB league and eurocup

he might be good enough for a roster spot in the NBA but in Russia he's good enough to start & play more mins
also more money
- 11,640

He's good enough to get 15-20 mins in the NBA. I personally think he's selling himself too short.

We have enough help on the front court. We need some damn back court help.
