Jerryd Bayless: Expects to provide spark off bench

The Sixers brought Bayless in prior to the 2016-17 season in hopes that he’d
start in the backcourt alongside Ben Simmons, but neither play was ultimately
healthy, with Bayless missing all but three games with torn ligaments in his
non-shooting wrist. Now fully recovered, Bayless finds himself in a much
different situation, but one that he’s prepared to embrace. “Part of the
mind-set to me is help this team win,” Bayless said. “They have a collection of
really good players. Just being a part of that and helping this team win in
different ways on a nightly basis is something I’m looking forward to.” As a
member of the Bucks in 2015-16, Bayless played mostly off the bench and posted
averages of 10.4 points, 3.1 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game while shooting a
career-best 43.7 percent from beyond the arc.
