Rotation isn't about the hands. It's about releasing Chakra from every Chakra point in the entire body and spinning rapidly, creating a high speed shield that reflects attacks. So the Sharingan won't be beneficial here since there is no gap. Neji's other abilities rely heavily on the Byakugan. He also relies heavily on Rotation, going so far as to use it against just shuriken throws. Sasuke at that moment in time, without Chidori relies heavily on Taijutsu and Shuriken Jutsu. That would put Neji at an advantage. Sasuke vs Neji in Taijutsu would result in Sasuke's Chakra points being shut down. Or even an organ hit. Sasuke vs Neji in Shuriken would result in him using Rotation. That just leaves Fire techniques and Chdori which neji wouldn't hesitate to rotate to.
