The fact that Markelle Fultz started over J.J. Redick is the biggest rotation change up for the Philadelphia 76ers in their first preseason game versus the Melbourne United. However, it wasn’t the only rotation change that is note worthy that the Sixers made. Having Jerryd Bayless be the first ball handler off the bench is rather an interesting move made by head coach Brett Brown and his staff.
In 14 minutes of playing time, Bayless had four points, three rebounds and one steal, while shooting 2-4 from the floor.
