If you watch Matisse Thybulle’s game, you’ll notice just how important defense is to him. He is a defender through and through and that’s what he hangs his hat on. Like most quality defenders, Thybulle worked tirelessly to become the stopper that he is.
Named after artist Henri Matisse, Thybulle was born on March 4th, 1997, to Greg and Dr. Elizabeth Thybulle. He wasn’t initially seen as a future 1st round NBA talent as he was ranked as a three-star recruit by ESPN.
Playing at the University of Washington for four years, Thybulle had a chance to work on the small details of his game.
