If he keeps playing the way he has, 15 or less would be great.Yup. Covington is a very good defensive player and has a decent jumpshot. He could be a really good 3-and-D player. Supposedly, the 76ers are working on an extension for him and will hopefully announce it in November (they can't technically extend him until then.) Based on how he was acquired, I'm pretty sure they can load some of the salary into this year so that they can free up salary in years 3 and 4 when they should hopefully be competitive.
Depending on who you ask, some 76ers fans think he's worthy of a near-max contract (I'm not one of those people but I definitely do want to see him extended). I'm hoping the treatment that guys like Roberson got this offseason helps bring the number to something reasonable.
I wouldn't give him Hardaway or Bazemore money....not yet.
