ANALYSIS: Another Knick benefiting from the dumpster fire that is happening in Madison Square Garden this season, Alexey Shved has been one of the go-to scorers for these Knicks. The 6'6" Russian is a match up nightmare for most guards (especially when he's running the point) and is a lock for double digit points and at least four assists on a nightly basis. Unfortunately, his shooting numbers will bring his value down a bit but his total ignorance of defense will upset Derek Fisher more than it will upset you as a fantasy owner. He's inconsistent on the boards but is capable of approaching double digits every night and he's ability to disrupt passing lanes will give him some occasional steals. Shved may not have the skill level to have a long productive career but so long as the Knicks are tanking, the Russian will be given his fifteen minutes of fame.
