The Myth of The Streaky Shooter

Ben Detrick (The Ringer/NY Times): Covington is a streaky shooter, but the defense is real and it’s spectacular.”

Andrew Porter (WIP Sports Editor): “Covington is who he is — a streaky shooter who plays solid D.”

Marshall Harris (NBC Philly): “Covington’s streaky shooting has been an issue to say the least.”

All of the verified Twitter personas above share the opinion that Robert Covington is a streaky shooter. Additionally, 92% of the voters in our poll agreed with this sentiment.

Referring to Covington as “streaky” is like referring to 90-degree ankle dislocations as “gruesome”; it’s just the word that everyone uses by default.
