Matisse Thybulle
OK, fine. We lied. We promised you 3-and-D players in this article.
Matisse Thybulle only fits one half of that description. His career 32.4% shooting from long range is not pretty. So why would the Denver Nuggets consider acquiring him?
It’s pretty simple: he’s one of the absolute best defenders in the NBA. Thybulle collects steals and blocks like they’re going out of style. He can lock up guards, wings, and even some big men. He’d find a way to make an impact on this Nuggets team.
Meanwhile, he still has time to improve his three-point shooting. A 32.4% accuracy rate is suboptimal, but it’s not beyond hope. A relatively slight uptick would rank Matisse Thybulle among the league’s best 3-and-D players after all.
