With a new NBA season, comes a new weekly edition of the “Rookie Report” for the Philadelphia 76ers. Like last season, The Sixer Sense will be doing weekly updates about what is going on with all the team’s rookies. Despite the short opening week, one rookie is already making headlines for the Sixers.
20th pick, 2019
Matisse Thybulle has been nothing less than spectacular on the defensive end for his first two games in the NBA. He’s averaged 1.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 block. Thybulle has been able to effectively neutralize players like All-Star point guard Kemba Walker of the Boston Celtics in the Sixers first game of the season.
