“I’m reminded about how much of a veteran Sergio Rodriguez really is.” Brett Brown said before Philadelphia 76ers’ game against Atlanta Hawks. “He’s played a lot of basketball, although he’s sort of new to the United States and the NBA. He’s played high level”, the coach noted.
And the Spanish guard lived up to his coach’s praise, scoring in double digits again. Rodriguez had 14 points in the 76ers’ loss to Atlanta Hawks, 72-104 to go along his 5 asists. In his first game, he scored 12 points in his team’s loss to Oklahoma City Thunder. Croatian Dario Saric added 5 points and 4 rebounds for the Sixers against Atlanta.
