Robert Covington Struggles With Shot In Season Opener
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington looked every bit the defensive force that made him a member of last year's All-Defensive Team in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics, grabbing a pair of steals while blocking a shot and pulling down six rebounds. But Covington has to contribute offensively to justify where he was drafted by fantasy owners and his shot was off on Tuesday as he finished with eight points on 3-for-10 shooting. He went 2-for-7 from three-point range. Thursday's meeting with Chicago should provide Covington with an opportunity to get his shooting game back on track, as they allowed the most threes of any team last season.
