RoCo defends better on the perimeter to say the least. If you like DFS, which I do, he'll be even more effective coming off the bench.
Defensively I agree, but I believe his offense will fall of a cliff playing with Brunson instead of Luka. No doubt RoCO is the guy to go for. They can play together too against small ball. C'mon Donnie, get it done. No other good 3&D wing seems to be available.
What about Rudy Gay? He's no defensive wing, but could help with depht and would be an upgrade over DFS.
Also Covingtons offense will explode playing with Luka. DFS is shooting open 3s all the time, its a luxury really. Given how open he is I am not sure he is that great a shooter.
The reality is that ROCO is a better career 3pt shooter on higher volume.He's typically had better defensive metrics. There's some things DFS is better at too but if you want a 3 and d guy? I'm taking Covington every time.
if you want to play hypotheticals of who might explode with Luka.... OPJ has a better case. He looked fantastic once he got out of the Washington mess last year. Really good shooter. He'd get a tooooooon of open looks here.
I'm good with either him or ROCO... Just pointing out people having been arguing the point you made on Covington for other guys out there.
