Robert Covington started at PF and played 23 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Hornets, scoring nine points on 1-of-7 shooting (0-for-4 3PTs) with three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block.

Covington having some rust should be expected and fantasy prognosticators everywhere are swinging and missing on his upside.  A consistent performer on the stat sheet, all he needs to do is stay healthy in order to be a mid-round value.  If he doesn’t slip or he can start to get heavy minutes, he’ll have early round upside.  The Sixers dropped to 0-13 and have lost their last 23 games for those trusting the process.
