Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington has found another way to make a difference off the basketball court yet again.
Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington has become one of the best 3-and-D forwards in the league, which explains why the Rockets spent so much time trying to pursue him before successfully pulling off a deal for his services last season. Covington’s versatility allowed the Rockets to employ the small ball strategy, as he thrived while being in the free safety type of role on the defensive end, which gave him the range to roam on the floor.
