When the Philadelphia 76ers signed Sergio Rodriguez this summer for a small, $8 million contract for one season (less than 10 percent of the team’s salary cap for the season), it was looked at as an overall positive signing. With the Sixers not having many options at the point guard position, it made sense to sign him as long as he was going to come over.
Although his signing was good, it looked as if Jerryd Bayless was the smart player to run as the starting point guard. He had more recent experience in the NBA, and had an overall more positive experience in the NBA as well.
