Alexey Shved joins the Warriors from Minnesota
The
Minnesota Timberwolves and
Golden State Warriors have come to an agreement. The Warriors have been lacking a great bench scorer in the SG position. They have sent off a 2014 2nd round pick, Brandon Rush and Kent Bazemore for Alexey Shved.
Stat Line:
Kent Bazemore: 6GP, 7.2 MPG, 2.8 PPG, 1.5 RPG
Brandon Rush: 6GP, 6.0 MPG, 2.2 PPG, 1.3 RPG
Alexey Shved: 6GP, 23.7 MPG, 10.3 PPG, 2.5 RPG
Shved is expected to play a 6th man role, getting 21 minutes per game. Shved will be making about $10M over the next 3 years. He can also play backup pointguard if Jack goes down.
"This is exactly what we were lacking. Shved will bring scoring off the bench (we hope), and is young! If he fails, he is great trade bate." -
Golden State Warriors GM
"I'm Excited to play on the Warriors! They look like a fun, well organized team. I can't wait to show them that they made the right choice!" -
