Alexei Wiktorowitsch Schwed ( Russian Алексей Викторович Швед ; English transcription: Alexey Shved ; born December 16, 1988 in Belgorod , Russian SFSR ) is a Russian basketball player . Sweden joined the youth teams of the dominant Russian basketball club PBK CSKA in Moscow in 2005 . After 2010, he also prevailed in the CSKA men's team, which is one of the leading teams in Europe, and took part with the Russian national team in the 2011 European basketball championship , where they won the bronze medal. At 1.98 m he is a comparatively large and lanky guard , but he has enough speed to keep up with smaller players in his position.

Europe

Schwed played from 2005 to 2007 in particular in the junior team of CSKA Moscow and only sporadically in the men's team. At the end of the 2006/07 season he was awarded to the suburban club from Khimki , with whom he took third place in the Russian championship. At the U20 European Championship in 2007, he reached fourth place with the Russian junior selection and was elected to the all-tournament team of the five best players of the tournament. At the following U20 European Championship in 2008 they only finished ninth and Sweden was not considered among the best players of the tournament.

Since the 2007/08 season, however, Schwed has regularly played in the men's team of CSKA, where he was usually only used for a few minutes. In the ULEB Euroleague 2007/08 , the highest European club competition and in the CSKA again title holder, he was used in addition to games in the group phases also in the quarter-final play-off , and in the ULEB Euroleague 2008/09 , when CSKA again reached the final , also in addition to games in the group stage, briefly in the quarter-final play-offs. In addition, as in previous years, ZSKA won the Russian championship title.

In December 2009 it was awarded again, this time to Dynamo Moscow. At Dynamo he got significantly more game shares at senior level for the first time and scored an average of 11 points in four games in the Eurocup 2009/10 , but that did not change the fact that Dynamo was eliminated in the preliminary round after six defeats in six games.

After he returned to CSKA, he was able to fight for more game shares in their men's team. Under the new coach Duško Vujošević they were in the ULEB Euroleague 2010/11 but little successful and were eliminated in the preliminary round. This was the first time since 2002 that they did not reach the Final Four tournament in the most prestigious European club competition, which resulted in Vujošević's dismissal. At the end of the season, however, as in previous years, they won the Russian championship again and Sweden was able to recommend himself for the first time for a final squad of the Russian men's national team.

In the summer of 2015, Schwed returned to Russia and signed a new contract with BK Chimki .

NBA

In the summer of 2012, Schwed moved to the USA and signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves . In 2014, the Philadelphia 76ers signed him, but they transferred his contract to the Houston Rockets in December of the same year as part of a player swap. In February 2015 he again moved to New York . In the unsuccessful Knicks, Schwed had his best statistics with 14.8 points per game. After his contract with the Knicks expired, he moved back to Russia.

National team

Already in 2009 he was in the national team until shortly before the start of the European Championship finals, but then in 2009 and 2010 he was the last player to be removed from the finals. At the European Championship finals 2011 he won all games with the Russian selection up to the semifinals, after a defeat against France they won the bronze medal by winning the game for third place against the surprise team of the Macedonia tournament . Sweden's greatest success so far was at the 2012 Olympic Games when he won the bronze medal with the Russian national team by beating Argentina . In this game Schwed scored 25 points.
