Charlie Manuel always used to say that the most important quality for a hitter is to "know thyself." Over the last month-plus, Covington has looked like a player who learned that. Like Iguodala, his lot in life is not as a 1-on-1 player whose team lives and dies on his performance. He is not a create-your-own-shot shooter. Consider this: Heading into Thursday night's game against the Spurs, 42 NBA players were averaging 5.0 attempts from three-point range per game. Of them, Covington ranked dead last in conversion percentage, shooting an awful .312 on the season. In other words, no other player in the league had taken so many shots and given his team so little in return as Covington.
