    Hopefully he gets some minutes initially and pushes Garcia out of rotation.

    This would be great. Garcia has been by far the biggest disappointment.

    Well Covingtons not the one you want. I believe he is shooting in the low 40's FG%.

    NBA 3pt average is 35% so it's better than most of the league.

    But he is shooting 35% from 3. He is also rebounding well.

    Well, this will fix everything. Glad the organization finally found the source of its problems - no Covington. I expect us to go on a very long win streak now.
