Matisse Thybulle is ascending to another level defensively
In his past four games, Matisse Thybulle has recorded eight steals and six blocks. He now leads all NBA players in steals per 100 possessions. He’s first in blocks per 100 possessions among guards by a mile. He leads all players (min. 200 minutes played) in deflections per 48 minutes with 7.4. The next closest is T.J. McConnell with 6.7.
The numbers are simply otherworldly. I am about ready to agree with Doc Rivers’ assessment that there aren’t 10 better defensive players in the entire league.
However, the biggest area of improvement for Thybulle this season compared to last season has been an area that isn’t as easily encapsulated by numbers -- his one-on-one man defense. As best evidenced by his performance against Devin Booker Wednesday night (in which he held Booker to 2-9 shooting during possessions in which the two were matched up), Thybulle has evolved into the rare wing defender who is elite both on and off the ball.
The vast majority of notorious defensive stoppers of the past decade are known far more for their on-ball skill rather than their off-ball exploits. Tony Allen, Avery Bradley, Andre Roberson, Patrick Beverly, et. al. are more so lockdown artists than back line help defenders. Thybulle is quickly becoming a player who has every bit of those players’ lockdown skills, with the added bonus of having Robert Covington’s off-ball read and react playmaking.
One stat that I do feel is an indication of his on-ball improvement is Thybulle’s decreased foul rate this season. He’s committing just 4.8 fouls per 100 possessions compared to 5.3 last season. Having that type of drop-off signifies to me that he has improved upon some of his gambling-based tendencies that often resulted in savvy scorers tricking him into reaching for the ball or falling for pump fakes. Thybulle is notably improving his discipline, and it’s helping him reach a level of defensive impact that very few players in the league can match.
exactly. s obzirom kako je smiješan ispadao 1 v 1 i protiv "prosječnih" bekova računao sam da u tom apsektu mu i level covingtona biti previsok te da mu je forsiranje zonske obrane na koledžu štetilo za taj segment,no ovo je strahoviti ,neočekivan napredak usred druge nba sezone pod novom strukom s time da uopće nije zadobio povjerenje u prvoj trećini iste! danny green effectClutch je napisao/la: ↑24 apr 2021, 16:55Matisse Thybulle is ascending to another level defensively

Off ball je bio elita i kao rookie, ali je 1 na 1 imao problem, doduše ojačao je u odnosu na prošlu sezonu ali osim što bi znao biti nadjačan, lako je ispadao iz situacija što zbog čestog gamblinga, što zbog previše reaktivne odbrane i nedovoljno dobrog pozicioniranja jer bi išao preagresivno, a to je dovodilo i do faulova. Sada je tu dosta više discipline, s iskustvom bolje zna i anticipirati situacije, te izvrsno koristi svoj wingspan. Tu su barem 2-3 defanzivna highlighta po utakmici ali i ostatak posjeda je konstanta visokog levela odbrane i koncentracije. I Joel je kroz to prolazio kao mlađi, gdje vremenom uvidiš da s obzirom na svoj kvalitet, dužinu ali i psihički utjecaj koji imaš na protivnike (a elitni defanzivci ga itekako imaju) je često sasvim dovoljno da ostaneš uz igrača i ideš na to otežaš i kontestiraš šut. Rezultat je da pored njega igrači šutiraju mizernih 37% iz igre (7.5% lošije od svojih uobičajenih procenata). Nastup i čuvanje Bookera od neku noć mu je možda i najbolji nastup u karijeri dosad, apsurdan nivo.
Na papiru smo najhot ekipa lige sa 7 pobjeda zaredom ali i ne blistamo baš.
jači je dojam bila ona serija 2018. bez embiida isto pred doigravanje kad smo isto imali najlakši raspored. a sad još ionako loši/prosječni suparnici bili bez hrpe najboljih...
