Matisse Thybulle

Often entrusted with the task of defending the league’s most creative perimeter scorers, Matisse Thybulle decided to see what all the fuss was about from the other side. After a pindown screen catapults him into a rare isolation opportunity, the Portland Trail Blazers swingman turns to a seldom-used skill in his game, challenging his opponent’s stability with a double in-and-out crossover before floating through the air for an artistic, and-one finger roll. Impactful in helping provide a valiant effort in the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the 3-and-D specialist shimmied his way into a season-high with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists, three steals, and three 3-pointers on March 6, 2024.
