    Covington plays with attitude....but he's around 210 lbs. Not exactly PF material.

    had absolutely nothing to do with Covington who flourished in that role.

    Nope. Career sub 11 PER, including *single digit* PERs in the last 3 seasons (the last 2 as a starter), shoots poorly from the floor, is *35* years old, and it would be incredibly stupid to send someone who is 20 or 21 years old for a guy who will be out of the league in a couple years.

    Free agency will answer that question imo. Will be interesting to see who olshey signs. If it’s Millsap, the answer is pretty obvious. Either way, I’m sure we’ll see plenty of lineups with Roco at the four. Remember, Hood played minutes there before he went down. If terry thought he could do it, I’m sure he won’t hesitate to put Covington there.

    Houston is a bit of an outlier. Hahaha

    But you bring up something interesting.

    They played the guy at center last year. He's the quintessential stats don't tell the story player.

    He's still 35 years old, and on the tail end of his career (which was never anything special to begin with).

    Against the Lakers, he averaged 4 rpg, 0.4 bpg and had 3 games (out of 5) where he made 2 baskets or less playing center. Guess we just have a different interpretation of the word 'flourishing'.

    he was 210 coming out of college 7 years ago. You don't think he's added any weight since then?

    Yeah, and it fits what the Blazer sare looking to do in the short term, especially with the RoCo trade. He's more likely to contribute more to a winning team in that one year than Simons and Little will for the remainder of their rookie deals, if last year is any indication.
