A new name that caught some eyes at the Phenom G3 Showcase was 2022 5'10 Justin Covington for Team Mamba.' Covington is coming off a solid season at North Forsyth, his first year on varsity, and seems to be on a mission to show more about his game.' He plays with an aggressive nature and shows good speed, excelled in transition, and finished well around defenders and with touch.' He really carried the load throughout the event for his team, being one of the top scorers in every outing.

When speaking more with Covington about his, Covington had this to say about how he would describe his game:

'I can score at all three levels, can guard 1-3, good off-ball help-side defense, and can rebound the ball,' he replied.' 'I can take over the game when I need to and I'm not afraid to take big shots down the stretch.' I'm also a great vocal leader, making sure guys are in the right spot.'

After a successful season as a junior at North Forsyth, averaging 11 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals per game, Covington seems ready to make even more noise and it starts this summer.  We would say he started off well with what he showed at the G3 Showcase.

What Coach Wilhelmi (North Forsyth) said about Covington's Game:

'Justin is a team-first type player with a high basketball IQ.  I've known him for two years now and he continues to get better and better.'
