--
One of the biggest benefits of the Sixers’ current approach
to rebuilding is the team’s ability to try out talent for future fit. By taking
the emphasis off of individual game results in the present, the Sixers can use
their 240 minutes of allotted court time each game to test out and evaluate
players; a luxury that contending teams with set rotations cannot afford.
The evaluation through experience allows players an
opportunity to show their stuff in the guts of games, not just against backups
in the fringe minutes allotted to some young, developing players. Although not
all players are able to take advantage of the opportunity. Some play, aren’t
seen to be a franchise fit, and are sent on their way. Remember Lorenzo Brown?
Dewayne Dedmon? Darius Morris?
On the other hand, some players are able to take advantage
of their opportunity. Robert Covington has been one of those players.

“I have my sights set on everything that I want to do to
prove that I belong here,” Covington told Comcast Sports’ sideline reporter
Molly Sullivan after posting a career-high 25 points in the Sixers overtime
victory over the Pistons on Saturday.
“I’ve just had that mindset whenever I’ve come in over the
last few games. Coach has believed in me, my teammates have believe in me, and
they’ve found me. It’s been showing in my play.”
Indeed it has. Covington has averaged 18 points per game
over the past four contests, while providing the Sixers with some reliable
outside shooting that they have been searching for. Covington has connected on
12 of 20 three-point attempts over that span and given reigning Rookie of the
Year Michael Carter-Williams an additional offensive outlet.
Covington’s minutes continue to climb, as he has clocked
about 30 minutes in each of the last three contests after averaging right
around 15 minutes per game to start the season. This trend will likely
continue, as Sixers coach Brett Brown continues to praise his play.
“I want him to shoot as many open three’s for us as
possible,” Brown stated last week. “That’s what he does.”
Covington’s promising play isn’t necessarily surprising - as
he was named the 2014 NBDL Rookie of the Year after also being named an NBDL
All-Star - it may have just been a matter of opportunity. Covington was unable
to break into the Rockets’ rotation after playing for their summer league squad
in 2013 and 2014, and appearing in seven game for Houston last season. The
Rockets, who have championship aspirations, did not necessarily have to the
minutes to dedicate to the development of a player like Covington; the Sixers
do. They also desperately need some shooters, Covington’s area of expertise.
Over the past couple weeks, Covington’s play has impressed
and those across the league’s landscape are starting to take note. Granted,
Covington’s stint with the Sixers thus far is a small sample size, but he is
certainly making the most out of the opportunity. The minutes will be there as
long as Covington can continue to take advantage of them. If he can continue to
play at or above the level he has been over the past couple weeks he will prove
that he not only deserves to play in the present, but that he may have a future
with the franchise as well.
