Sergio Rodriguez: Dazzles off the bench with 15 points, eight assists

T.J. McConnell has replaced Jerryd Bayless (wrist) in the starting lineup at point guard for all three of the 76ers’ preseason games, but Saturday marked the first time that he was outplayed by Rodriguez, his primary competition for the top backup role behind Bayless. With Bayless’ injury lingering longer than expected and potentially sidelining him for the start of the regular season, both McConnell and Rodriguez could see more run early on in the campaign. While that may be an optimal setup for the 76ers, that’s probably less true for fantasy owners, as neither point guard would have a great chance at hitting 30-plus minutes per night while they share the position.
