Alexey Shved scored eight points on 2-of-7 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds and four assists in 19 minutes off the bench on Friday.
Shooting is going to be something that Shved needs to clean up in the offseason, as he has hit just 36.5 percent of his attempts on the year. Unless there is an injury in the Wolves backcourt, it looks like he'll stay on the wire outside of deeper formats. Mar 15 - 11:44 PM

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved hit 6-of-8 shots and three 3-pointers on his way to 16 points, three rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes of Tuesday's blowout win over the Spurs.

Shved had hit double figures in scoring just once over his previous eight games and failed to score a single point in his previous game, when he played 19 minutes against the Mavericks. He showed a ton of promise early in the season, and while tonight's game was a nice reminder of what he can do, we'll have to see it a few more times before thinking he's suddenly worth a pickup in most leagues. And the fact the Wolves crushed the Spurs tonight should also be a hint that this wasn't a normal night in Minnesota.

Rick Adelman wants Alexey Shved to push through the "rookie wall."

Shved's production over the last eight games hasn't been anything fantasy owners could use, and he's really struggled after a promising first half of the season. "He is really struggling, but he has to find a way through it," Adelman said. Owners can do better than Shved in every format outside of extremely deep leagues.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved missed all seven of his shot attempts on Sunday, going scoreless with two rebounds, one assist and three turnovers in 19 minutes.

Shved has good length and a knack for playmaking, but his shot obviously needs to be overhauled this summer -- he's making 36.6 percent of his FGs (29.1 percent from downtown) and 72.3 percent of his FTs.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved made 1-of-6 field goals and 2-of-4 free throws vs. the Wizards, finishing with four points in 21 minutes off the bench.

Shved added one rebound and one assist, and this saps any momentum he may have had after Monday's passable game. The Wolves have an excellent rest-of-season schedule, but owners seeking backcourt help are much better off with Luke Ridnour (15 points) or J.J. Barea (12 points).

Rick Adelman admitted that Alexey Shved is "letting things affect him."

"He's got to learn in this league that you're going to get beat down and you're going to have to respond," Adelman said. Shved shot 5-of-8 on Monday after shooting just 18.5 percent over his last four games, so hopefully he's ready to break out of his recent slide.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved played just 16 minutes off the bench and had four points and one assist on 2-of-7 shooting on Sunday.

It's the third time in his last four games in which he hasn't cracked 20 minutes. There is a serious logjam at shooting guard now that Ricky Rubio is seeing a full workload, so Shved isn't quite worth owning in standard leagues.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved scored 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 25 minutes off the bench on Friday.

It's good to see Shved throw the owners stashing him a bone, as he has been pretty unproductive lately. As the young guy playing with a bunch of injury prone veterans, the hope for owners is that the Wolves turn to him more down the stretch.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved scored 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting (including a three) with three assists and two blocks in 30 minutes off the bench on Monday.

Shved's short-term production is going to be an issue, but playing in an older, injury prone backcourt it stands to reason that he'll get more touches as the year goes on. It doesn't hurt that Luke Ridnour is in the rumor mill, and Shved is a nice stash in standard formats.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved scored eight points on 3-of-10 shooting (no threes) with four rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Shved's production has slipped after a few decent games and we warned owners about his short-term outlook. Long-term, he plays in a backcourt of injury-prone players and one of them (Luke Ridnour) is already in trade rumors -- but beyond that it's probable that the Wolves look to him as the season goes on.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved scored just seven points on 3-of-9 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds, two assists, and one block in 18 minutes off the bench on Wednesday against the Spurs.

Shved's minutes are concerning but he has been mostly productive recently. His role is going to be a question mark in the short-term, but the Wolves will likely try to feed him minutes as the year goes on.
Feb 7 - 12:55 AM
Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved handed out eight assists to go with 12 points, four boards, one block and one 3-pointer on 4-of-11 shooting in Saturday's 115-86 win over New Orleans.

He had a big 18-point game on Friday, but this line is a little misleading due to garbage time. Five of Shved's eight assists came in the fourth quarter and he played the entire period. We wouldn't suggest picking him up based on this line alone.
Feb 3 - 12:09 AM
Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved hit five 3-pointers and scored 18 points on 6-of-16 shooting with four rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Opinions were divided over here about dropping him in standard formats, and the 'hold' group got a big win tonight. Playing behind injury prone Luke Ridnour, Ricky Rubio, and J.J. Barea, it's possible he's the last man standing even if he struggles at times with the log-jam.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved returned from his ankle injury on Wednesday, scoring 12 points with four assists, one steal, one block and one 3-pointer in 24 minutes against the Clippers.

He was cruising along earlier this year, but with Ricky Rubio on track to see a normal load in minutes and with Luke Ridnour (eight points in 24 minutes) not likely to give up his starting job, Shved isn't worth owning in standard leagues at this point.

Alexey Shved - G - Timberwolves

Alexey Shved (ankle) will come off the bench Wednesday against the Clippers.

Shved had been expected to return Wednesday, but the fact that he's relegated to a bench role limits his value Luke Ridnour and Ricky Rubio seem to have a firm hold on the starting jobs in Minnesota's backcourt and J.J. Barea will battle Shved for shots with the second unit.
