Could Wednesday’s contest against the Boston Celtics be Matisse Thybulle’s last game as a member of the 76ers?
There’s a belief that the shooting guard will be moved before Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline as the team positions itself to win this season’s NBA title. The Sixers , who are third in the Eastern Conference, could replace him with a suitable backup center to help push the squad to a deep postseason run.
In that scenario, the Sixers would benefit from trading the two-time, second team All-Defensive selection to a Western Conference team in need of a lockdown defender.After his senior season at the University of Washington, the Sixers promised Thybulle they would select him in the 2019 NBA draft. As a result, he shut down his predraft workouts and didn’t attend the NBA combine.
Wednesday’s contest will provide the Sixers an opportunity to see how much they have improved since the teams met in the season opener, a 126-117 Celtics victory in Beantown. And the Sixers struggled to make stops. The Celtics shot 56.1% from the field, including 57.9% after intermission. Brogdon scored 16 points on 7-for-11 shooting along with having four assists and two steals as the backup point guard.De’Anthony Melton knows the Sixers must rely on team defense to guard the standout duo.
Part of the problem is reserve centers Harrell and Paul Reed are undersized and a better fit in the power forward/center model.Along with Vanderbilt, the Sixers have expressed interest in former Sixer and current Pistons reserve center Nerlens Noel. Chicago Bulls reserve center Andre Drummond, another former Sixer, could also be an option if the asking price is right.
