Philadelphia 76ers: Matisse Thybulle’s shooting in Vegas is positive indicator

The Philadelphia 76ers were an underwhelming 2-3 in Las Vegas, lacking the offensive firepower to compete with elite Summer League teams. There were still positives, however — mainly in the form of Matisse Thybulle, Zhaire Smith and Marial Shayok.

Thybulle entered Summer League with questions about his NBA role — how his defense might fit into man-to-man coverage and how his offense would look. It’s fair to suggest Thybulle answered those questions in resounding fashion.

On defense, Thybulle was spectacular. He’s not elite on-ball, but has the length and athleticism to defend his man effectively.
