Robert Covington has thrived in the good atmosphere of the Clippers and he has all the qualities to play a big part in his new home.
The Los Angeles Clippers will be happier than ever with the culture they’ve cultivated this week. Seeing the players so happy and united in training means a lot to us fans and we know they are in a great mood, but it also means they will be in a positive mood when they fight for the title.
Some people especially love that spirit, and it’s no coincidence that Robert Covington looked like part of the Portland Trail Blazers from day one. His subsequent performance solidified his role on the team, but his voice about how good his life at the Clippers was will be music to fans’ ears.
With the exception of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, it looks like Taylu’s place in the season’s final lineup is still up for grabs. That being said, there’s no reason Covington thinks he can’t score one of those positions, whether it’s a four or five small ball for the Clippers.
Despite the fact that Marcus Morris Sr was confirmed as the new season’s power forward this week, the coaching staff has never been shy about making changes. However, even if RoCo fails to replace Muk, his under the rim defense, which he showed with a powerful block at Anferny Simons this week, could make him a valuable short center for the team.

One thing Covington has struggled with throughout his career is consistency, a fact that proves he never felt like he found a home in the NBA. Although he now seems to have found that in Los Angeles, if he finds himself once again in a situation where he struggles to achieve stability on the court, things can quickly get shaky for the 31-year-old.
Rocko has what it takes to be a backup center for the Clippers. While there could be a lot of twists and turns this season and Ty figuring out what his best lineup is and what to do against certain opponents, it seems like the former Blazer is better than Morris and Bato in what he has to offer. table. Mu has an advantage of five.
The aforementioned under-the-rim defense, his ability on the passing lane, his three-point consistency during his tenure with the Clippers all bode well for him. But it would also benefit the team if they could make the most of him in this role.
If this team can bounce back from years of disappointment and shine this season, it will be thanks in large part to the return stories of players like Rocco who have helped bring true desire and determination to the team.
