Matisse Thybulle was a Sixers breakout star last season, especially on defense.
And he has been flashing some offense during pre-Olympic exhibition play for Team Australia.
Thybulle moved to Australia when he was two years old and lived there for seven years with his family.
The 24-year-old took the court for the Boomers on Saturday night and didn’t disappoint. He scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds in an 87-84 come-from-behind win over Argentina. More impressively, he drilled three triples while coming up with four steals and three blocks.
