The Philadelphia 76ers and Matisse Thybulle seem to be going in different directions.
The Philadelphia 76ers are 2-0, and while the start of the season has been far from perfect, the early signs are good. This Sixers team is going to win plenty of games. That said, Matisse Thybulle — who was arguably Brett Brown’s top reserve last season — is suddenly teetering on the brink of irrelevance.
It’s too early to write off Thybulle. He’s 24, on a rookie-scale contract, and one of the most interesting defensive prospects in basketball.
