It’s not necessarily a bad thing to have a player a lot of teams want, and it’s easy to see why teams covet Covington.
The 6-9 forward, who turned 29 last month, has built a reputation as one of the best defenders in the NBA. He is an affable guy off the court and is a respected voice in the Wolves locker room.
