Why The Sacramento Kings Do The Deal
There is no doubt that Matisse Thybulle is a complicated player. He has incredible strengths, as well as glaring flaws.
There is no doubt in our minds that he is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. If you were to put him at the top of that list, we would not even be able to argue. Unfortunately, he is incapable of shooting, which can be extremely problematic.
The Kings should be able to deal with it. Adding Thybulle to their roster will help them shore up their playoff chances. They can worry about his shooting when they get there. Furthermore, if he begins shooting from long distance, this will be a great deal for the Kings.
Last but not least, Korkmaz is also a solid rotation player for the Kings as well.
