The trees are falling and scattered! The fire at the city gate, the damage to the pond fish, the dispersal of a team, means that everyone on the team has to follow the bad luck, a player to experience such a group once, it is already unlucky enough, but some players have experienced twice.
How could he be so unlucky! The Rockets have him, the Blazers have him, where will he go next season?
He lost the draft in 2013 and has a 9-year career with five teams, including the Rockets, 76ers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Clippers.
In 2020, the Rockets broke up to rebuild, he was sent to the Blazers, in 2022, the Blazers broke up to rebuild, he was sent to the Clippers, he is Robert. Covington. A standard 3D player.
All these years of Covington! It is really very difficult to understand, and there are four main reasons why people can't understand it.
First, age and status do not match
31 years old, when playing year, is the best age for a player, but look at Covington's statistics this season.
He averaged 7.6 points per game, the second lowest in his career, only better than his rookie season.
Shooting 39.1 percent from the field, a career-low.
Averaging 1.6 three-pointers per game, the second-lowest career average, only better than his rookie season.
Since the beginning of the 2014 season, Covington has been in a row for six consecutive seasons, averaging 2 or more three-point points per game. But in the past two seasons, Covington has averaged less than two three-pointers per game.
Second, what is the contract year for?
Did Covington get the big contract and float it straight away? Just like Bertans, not at all, this year is Covington's contract year!
The average player reaches the contract year, in order to get a good big contract, the state will usher in a big outbreak, but Covington is a big opposite, is it really not bad money?
Three, is the defense really good?
Covington has been selected for the defensive team, and the name of the defensive tough guy is also well known to everyone, but Covington's defensive data is actually not outstanding.
Facing Covington's defense this season, the opponent shot 46.5% of the time, including 39.1% of the three-point shooting rate and 51% of the two-point shooting rate of the opposing player.
Of course, Covington's defensive skills are mainly reflected in the co-defense, and single defense is not Covington's strength. Maybe that's why.
Fourth, the playoffs are better than the regular season?
The average player is better than the regular season statistics than the playoffs, while Covington is just the opposite.
He averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game in the regular season and shot 36 percent from three-point range.
He averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game in the professional playoffs and shot 41.7 percent from three-point range.
In the 2019 playoffs for the Rockets, Covington averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game and shot 50 percent from three-point range.
In the 2020 playoffs at the Blazers, Covington averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game and shot 50 percent from three-point range.
So why has Covington's decline in these two seasons been so severe?
Personally, I think it has a lot to do with the Blazers, the Blazers' defense over the years has been too poor, this season's defensive efficiency is 113.7, the league's third-to-last defensive efficiency, last season's defensive efficiency is 115.3, and the league's second-to-last,
Covington's defensive end is difficult to support, and the defensive end invests too much energy, which affects the play of the offensive end.
Covington's contract is expiring this summer, and although this season is in average form, it is expected that many teams will pursue Covington.
First, 31 years old when the year of the fight.
Second, 2 meters 01 tall, can play small ball center.
Although the three points have been worse in recent years, the three-year ability is still there, and the past three points can still be nibbled.
Fourth, single defense is average, but the ability to assist in defense is excellent, suitable for teams that like to play small lineups.
Fans and friends, personally predict that Covington can get a 4-year 50 million contract this summer! What do you think? Leave me a message to discuss.
