Matisse getting it with only around 20 mpg
That's nuts
Also that's 5 sixers with Jrue and Butler hehe
Yup, also he's the only non-starter to make either All-Defensive team. He's THAT good when he was on the floor. defensively On a minute by minute basis he was THE most disruptive player in the league defensively. 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, while posting the fifth highest single-season Defensive Box Plus-Minus in NBA history.
He's only in his second season, but we just need this kid to get a more consistent jumper to earn more minutes on a team that needs as much spacing as possible around Embiid and Simmons. There's a good chance he'll see closer to 30 mpg next season if/when Danny Green departs, as long as he can improve his jump shot in the off-season.

Despite only playing 20 minutes per game in 2020-21 (#172 in the NBA), Thybulle finished out the regular season ranked fifth overall in total steals, first overall in steals per 36 minutes, and was the only non-big to record at least 70 blocks.
