Matisse Thybulle

SG-SF, Philadelphia Sixers

Brett Brown said on Sunday that the Sixers are considering plugging Matisse Thybulle into the starting lineup.

Thybulle's appeal in a series against the wing-heavy Celtics is obvious, and he's going to play a significant defensive role whether he starts or not. Thybulle's minutes ebbed and flowed during the regular season, making him hard to deploy in standard leagues despite oodles of upside, but the shorthanded Sixers may not have a choice but to turn to the rookie for a sizable workload now. Thybulle has a chance to be an elite source of steals and blocks in playoff leagues.
