In this next draft profile article, I will be having an in-depth look at Matisse Thybulle, whom many Spurs fans are intrigued by. So let’s dive in hey.
College Team: Washington (Senior)
Position: Small Forward/Shooting Guard
Height: 6’5" (although some mock-drafts have him closer to 6’6")
Wingspan: 7’0"
2018-19 Stats: Over 28 games in 30min per game he averages nearly 10pts, 3.3 reb, 2.3blk, 3.5 stl, 2.3ast at 43.7% FG, 32.8% 3P and 85.7% FT.
Projected Draft Spot: Late 1st Rd-mid 2nd Rd.
Strengths:
Well where do I start…? How about for the 2017-18 college season he was the PAC-12 Defensive Player of the Year!!! Just take a look at his stats, in particular the blocks and steals. How good are those stats compared to some of the good-great 3&D players in the NBA? Well an extremely good Stepien Article outlines it and crunches the numbers better than I ever could. But what it boils down to is that this kid’s defensive numbers are ‘ELITE’. Whether it is blocks or steals – Thybulle is hungry for the ball when it is in the opponent’s hands – like crazy hungry. He will fly down from the arc to block someone in the post, he can read passes like the opponents posted their intensions on Twitter first.
On offense he has some range, with a serviceable deep shot (around 36% from deep over his four years at college), and he attacks the lane with athleticism and energy. According to a Stepien Shot Chart he rarely takes mid-ranged shots, most of his scoring is from the deep or at the rim. His court awareness is transferred into his passing, where he averages nearly 2.5 assists per game. He generates offence through his defence, as he is able to gather in a ball poked loose, or hold on to a steal which leads to an outlet pass to players starting a break.
Watch the "All-round Game vs Utah" highlights linked below and you will get a good glimpse into what he could bring to the Spurs. And the Colorado game shows that he can be productive on the offensive end as well.
Apparently, he is the only college player in the last 27 years that has averaged 1 3pt’er, 2 steals and 3 blocks per game.
Weaknesses:
He is a little undersized, but his wingspan makes up for that. Because Matisse is so intense, he often pushes the offensive pace too far and too fast, ending up making bad passes or turning the ball over. His deep shot is good, but he can be seen launching up threes without really looking to see if there is a player open. He can also try to attack the lane with too much energy and ends up not finishing.
At times on defence he over-commits, leaving other players open, or he gets caught up in fighting through screens – but this isn’t as often as it seems as he wouldn’t be averaging his other-worldly defensive numbers.
NBA Player Comparison: Danny Green, Andre Roberson, Kent Bazemore.
Fit with the Spurs:
Well what is one of the things the Spurs need the most….defence, defence, defence!!! The Spurs need defence at the moment more than they need dominant offensive skill sets. So, do I need to say more?
Have I mentioned the defence yet?
The Spurs have precedent in playing wings who don’t score heaps (here’s lookin’ at you Bowen and Green), so fitting Thybulle in with scorers wouldn’t be a problem. One knock on Danny Green was that he struggled to put the ball on the floor and attack the lane, Thybulle can do this, as well as score from the arc. I could see him fitting into a line-up with DeRozan, Aldridge, White (or Mills) and Gay, as he would bolster the defence and provide some outside shooting without clogging the mid-range zones.
Oh yeah, and he has played with Murray at Washington, and apparently, they are good friends. So maybe Murray can put in a good word with PATFO. Apparently, he is a smart, high character guy – the kind of guy the Spurs tend to draft.
He is a high character, hardworking type of guy. Check out the "His Story" video about how his mother died when he was in high school.

https://basketballsocietyonline.com/matisse-thybulle-scouting-report
School: Washington
Year: Sophomore
Height/Weight: 6’5, 195 lbs
Strengths:
When talking about strengths for Mattise Thybulle, we of course need to start with his ability on defense because it’s a sight to behold. Thybulle plays up top in the 2-3 zone for Washington and is an absolute pest. His long arms are so irritating for the opposition as he cuts of passing lanes beyond effectively.
The factors that contribute to him being such a great defender are his quick feet, motor, defensive positioning, and instincts. He has some of the quickest feet we’ve seen in college this year.
Matisse has some very impressive hops too. That length coupled with his athleticism makes him a feared leaper on both ends. Cuts off passing lanes better than anyone on the collegiate level and can help on the offensive glass with those long arms as well. Really it’s both sides of the ball that he impresses.
That motor that Thybulle possesses is so alluring. Many of his steals and blocks come from him being extremely active on defense. He always seems to bring incredible help defense when warranted and is very sneaky. That’s what leads to many of his forced turnovers coming from behind the ball handler.
His rebounding numbers will not stand out to you, but we think that is just a result of the zone that they play. He’s consistently active on the offensive boards and we think that if he wasn’t up top in the 2-3 zone, then his defensive rebounding numbers would look a lot more impressive. We would definitely characterize him as a plus rebounder for his size with that being said.
Thybulle’s future in the NBA is as a 3 and D player. And a good one at that. He has shown the ability to spot up and hit threes off the catch. He has his hands in ready position to catch and go up immediately. The shot is actually pretty nice and he brings a good stroke with it.
Matisse’s offensive game is not complete by any means, but he is ever improving. He has shown the ability to put the ball down and attack the rim while finishing at a productive rate. He loves to use that running floater off of the glass consistently. That’s his bread and butter.
We can see him turning into a solid slasher at the next level. He’s a high IQ player on both ends and just as he cuts passing lanes effectively on the defensive end, he can cut to the basket and create open passing lanes for teammates offensively.
Weaknesses:
Thybulle’s main weakness is his left hand. He rarely goes to it, if at all. Every time we’ve watched him play, he’ll use that running floater as he drives left instead of going to his left hand. He’s able to finish with that floater easily at this level because he can get up over most defenders, but that won’t be the same case in the NBA. He is fine with putting the ball down with his left, but rarely does he elect to try to finish with it.
We are unsure of how good Thybulle is off ball on defense. That’s what happens when teams play zone defense. Obviously we are in love with his defensive game and think he’s a great helper. But zone defenses sometimes allow you to ball watch and help off a lot more than in man defenses. It’s not necessarily a weakness for Thybulle, but just a concern and something that we should monitor as he transitions to the next level.
Consistency is the name of the game for Matisse. He has been all over the place shooting from deep through his four years in college. During his sophomore year, he was above 40% from deep, but ever since he’s been hovering around that 35% line and even lower this season. If he isn’t able to make that consistent, he will be a liability defensively. It’s the difference between projecting him as a 3 and D star, or just claiming him as the next defensive stopper in Andre Roberson.
Thybulle also needs work on his creation game. His ball handling is fine, but nothing to get excited about. It gives him the ability to drive to the rim in college without turning it over, but it won’t get him passed NBA talented defenders. We believe his future is as a three point spot up shooter while being a willing slasher, but if that three point shot doesn’t become consistent, as mentioned, then he is going to have to tighten up that handle and show some creation skill.
Future Outlook:
Unlike many prospects in this draft, you know what you are at least going to get from Thybulle. He is going to put in constant work on defense and force a ton of turnovers. If he put on just 10 pounds of muscle, we could see him being one of the best lock-down defenders in the NBA.
The offensive game is what has us hesitating to name him one of the best players already in this upcoming draft. Regardless, he is a stud and don’t be surprised to see an established team, looking for some wing help, trade up in the draft to select Matisse Thybulle in the late lottery.

Cuts off passing lanes better than anyone on the collegiate level and can help on the offensive glass with those long arms as well. Really it’s both sides of the ball that he impresses.
That motor that Thybulle possesses is so alluring. Many of his steals and blocks come from him being extremely active on defense. He always seems to bring incredible help defense when warranted and is very sneaky. That’s what leads to many of his forced turnovers coming from behind the ball handler.
His rebounding numbers will not stand out to you, but we think that is just a result of the zone that they play. He’s consistently active on the offensive boards and we think that if he wasn’t up top in the 2-3 zone, then his defensive rebounding numbers would look a lot more impressive. We would definitely characterize him as a plus rebounder for his size with that being said.
Thybulle’s future in the NBA is as a 3 and D player. And a good one at that. He has shown the ability to spot up and hit threes off the catch. He has his hands in ready position to catch and go up immediately. The shot is actually pretty nice and he brings a good stroke with it.
Matisse’s offensive game is not complete by any means, but he is ever improving. He has shown the ability to put the ball down and attack the rim while finishing at a productive rate. He loves to use that running floater off of the glass consistently. That’s his bread and butter.
We can see him turning into a solid slasher at the next level. He’s a high IQ player on both ends and just as he cuts passing lanes effectively on the defensive end, he can cut to the basket and create open passing lanes for teammates offensively.
Weaknesses:
Thybulle’s main weakness is his left hand. He rarely goes to it, if at all. Every time we’ve watched him play, he’ll use that running floater as he drives left instead of going to his left hand. He’s able to finish with that floater easily at this level because he can get up over most defenders, but that won’t be the same case in the NBA. He is fine with putting the ball down with his left, but rarely does he elect to try to finish with it.
We are unsure of how good Thybulle is off ball on defense. That’s what happens when teams play zone defense. Obviously we are in love with his defensive game and think he’s a great helper. But zone defenses sometimes allow you to ball watch and help off a lot more than in man defenses. It’s not necessarily a weakness for Thybulle, but just a concern and something that we should monitor as he transitions to the next level.
Consistency is the name of the game for Matisse. He has been all over the place shooting from deep through his four years in college. During his sophomore year, he was above 40% from deep, but ever since he’s been hovering around that 35% line and even lower this season. If he isn’t able to make that consistent, he will be a liability defensively. It’s the difference between projecting him as a 3 and D star, or just claiming him as the next defensive stopper in Andre Roberson.
Thybulle also needs work on his creation game. His ball handling is fine, but nothing to get excited about. It gives him the ability to drive to the rim in college without turning it over, but it won’t get him passed NBA talented defenders. We believe his future is as a three point spot up shooter while being a willing slasher, but if that three point shot doesn’t become consistent, as mentioned, then he is going to have to tighten up that handle and show some creation skill.
Future Outlook:
Unlike many prospects in this draft, you know what you are at least going to get from Thybulle. He is going to put in constant work on defense and force a ton of turnovers. If he put on just 10 pounds of muscle, we could see him being one of the best lock-down defenders in the NBA.
The offensive game is what has us hesitating to name him one of the best players already in this upcoming draft. Regardless, he is a stud and don’t be surprised to see an established team, looking for some wing help, trade up in the draft to select Matisse Thybulle in the late lottery.

Likely contenders
2. Oregon
3. Washington
4. Colorado
No teams will be affected more by draft decisions than the Huskies and the Ducks.
Oregon is waiting on calls by point guard Payton Pritchard and shot-blocking specialist Kenny Wooten. Of the two, Pritchard seems more likely to return. Dana Altman has a good recruiting class on the way, including five-star forward C.J. Walker and junior college national player of the year Chris Duarte. But the roster looks a little thin and inexperienced right now, which makes Pritchard and Wooten even more important.
Washington holds out a slim hope that reigning Pac-12 player of the year Jaylen Nowell comes back for his junior season. Nowell‘s stock will probably never be higher, and he recently told the Seattle Times he is “all-in” on the draft. If Nowell does return, Mike Hopkins will have a strong corps with incoming freshman Isaiah Stewart, a physically imposing 6-9, 245-pounder, and Kentucky transfer Quade Green, who’ll be eligible at midseason. Losing Nowell means the Huskies would be without five of their top six contributors from this season, including Naismith defensive player of the year Matisse Thybulle.
Colorado is in the opposite situation. The Buffaloes, who were as hot as any team in the league down the stretch, return basically everybody. That includes double-double machine Tyler Bey (who ranked No. 2 nationally in defensive rebounding rate) and point guard McKinley Wright IV, who played most of last season with a torn shoulder ligament. Look no further for your sleeper Pac-12 title pick.
