It’s important to preface this article with my thoughts on Matisse Thybulle. He was a strong pick — the No. 15 prospect on my board and a clean fit. His 3-and-D skill set has clear value in the modern NBA, not to mention Brett Brown’s system.
When analyzing the Philadelphia 76ers‘ draft position, the assets given up to obtain Thybulle, and the other picks traded, however, the picture becomes less rosy. The Sixers won’t live to regret taking Thybulle in a vacuum. But they might regret passing on a few of his fellow rookies.
