Philadelphia 76ers top draft pick Matisse Thybulle got his first chance this past week to prove to fans that he was worth trading up for, and he did not disappoint.

Even adjusting from college to Summer League ball is a big jump for a lot of players. Playing within oneself goes a long way for those looking for success on that level. In the Sixers’ first game against the Bucks the rookie seemed to be forcing his game too much, leading to over-dribbling and a less than ideal four turnovers.
