76ers' Sergio Rodriguez: Productive in loss to Thunder

Rodriguez started at point guard and finished with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), nine assists and four rebounds in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 103-97 loss to the Thunder.

Analysis:

While Rodriguez was ultimately outdueled by Russell Westbrook, it was nonetheless an encouraging debut for the Spaniard. A pass-first point guard, Rodriguez should be a reliable source of assists as long as he remains the starter. Nothing is set in stone with this Sixers team, and that will likely be the case going forward, at least until Jerryd Bayless (wrist) returns to full health. Once Ben Simmons (foot) is cleared to play -- likely sometime in January -- he also figures to factor into the point-guard rotation.
