We knew the Sixers had something to build upon with Matisse Thybulle after witnessing his rookie season, which was largely labeled a success. Thybulle not only managed to make his way into the Sixers’ rotation, but he also became a huge part of it. It isn’t often in the NBA that you see mid-to late-first-round draft picks becoming positive rotation players during their rookie year.
What most people didn’t know is how transcendent Matisse Thybulle is and can be going forward. He was always labeled as a high-floor, low-ceiling type of player — meaning that most expected him to become a quality role player with little room to grow into.
