To me, Covington is the ideal Maxi clone (or really, Maxi is a Covington clone). It's a shame we couldn't/didn't get him in Portland fire sale. A pick two frontcourt of DFS/Covington/Maxi would have been awesome.
I think the closest thing to a Maxi starter kit would be PJ Washington, who I believe is on the block and might be had for our pick.
You might be right about both. I’ve wondered about Covington but thought he mostly played alongside someone bigger. I haven’t seen PJ play. Both look the type.
The other PJ—PJ Tucker—is too short and slow for that role. Too old too imho. He’s a Reggie Bullock type as I see it. (Someone mentioned him earlier. Don’t think it was you.)
