Matisse Thybulle has developed into one of the best perimeter defenders in the entire NBA. It isn’t too common that you see players being named to an All-Defensive team in their second year — something that Thybulle accomplished last season. Unfortunately, Thybulle’s offense (or lack there of) has kept him from logging major minutes on a reliable basis for his first two years.
This season we’ve seen a lot more of Thybulle, who is logging a career-high in minutes per game (26). A lot of this can be attributed to two different things: Ben Simmons, their best perimeter defender, not being around, along with Danny Green’s multiple injuries.
