Sergio Rodriguez, affectionately known as El Chacho (The Dude, approximately), was a flashy yet conservative signing for the Sixers. A one-year deal for a veteran backup point guard is as anti-Process as it can get, since Rodriguez would get the benefit of a breakout season in his first year in the NBA since the aughts and wouldn’t hold much trade value in-season. But as backup veteran point guards go, Rodriguez is a creative choice that addresses multiple weaknesses within the team, presents a different dimension from other internal options, and becomes much more important given Ben Simmons’ foot fracture.
