Fredette will play off the ball during the regular season, the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

This is a departure from the plan during the preseason, where Fredette and Austin Rivers have been sharing ball handling duties for the second unit. Coach Monty Williams' plan is now for Tyreke Evans to do most of the dribbling with the subs while Fredette or Rivers try to score. Williams used the word "or", not "and" when discussing Fredette and Rivers, which may mean only one of the two is destined for rotation minutes.
