As we approach the half way mark of the season, one thing is sticking out like dog’s balls – this year’s rookie class is playing terribly. The Dunkyard breaks down the ugly truth.

For those not aware, the 76ers’ Robert Covington has been relentlessly booed during home games by Philadelphia’s fans over the last month. The apparent reason for this is that he is shooting poorly. Any time he strings together a few misses, the boos will start and it was no different during today’s game against Minnesota.
There is no doubt that Covington is struggling this season, posting a true shooting percentage of 47.5% (ranked 306th out of 334 qualified players overall) and a PER of 9.9.
However, enough is enough.
To the idiots booing Covington:
Those that know Lloydybird know that he’s a long suffering Sonics supporter who has been a defacto Clippers supporter since 2008 (based loosely on a Bilas-style ‘shittest available‘ at the time). Lloydybird cares about the Clippers and desparately wants to see them succeed and shove it up the Lakers.
However, after watching the Clippers rise on the back of the Chris Paul trade, it has been an annual cavalcade of bad luck and fuck ups for a team that should have done a lot better. It’s time for change – but without blowing things up.
Now that we’re around 20% of the way into the new season, the Dunkyard has ranked each team based on the aggregate of its top-5 players by PER (minimum of 250 minutes played).
Some of the results will surprise you.
