Matisse Thybulle is ranked very high by NBA 2K27 in one category
New Lakers wing Matisse Thybulle got some major respect by being ranked very high in one category in NBA 2K27.
NBA 2K27, the upcoming basketball video game, is set to release on September 4, with early access beginning on August 28 for some players. Early leaks of player ratings have revealed that Matisse Thybulle, a recently signed Los Angeles Lakers wing, is highly rated in the game. Despite being a defensive player, Thybulle's high steal rating has caught attention.
Known for his ability to disrupt opponents, Thybulle has been named to the All-Defensive second team twice. The video game has recognized his defensive prowess by giving him a 98 steal rating, placing him second among all players, only behind Detroit Pistons' Ausar Thompson. Thybulle, 29, averages 1.6 steals per game in his career, and last season, he averaged 2 steals over 16 minutes.
His ability to block shots adds to his threat as a help defender. With a growing 3-point shooting ability, Thybulle can significantly impact the Lakers' performance, especially if he remains healthy. He has played a total of just 45 games over the past two years, but his high rating in NBA 2K27 suggests he can make a significant impact if he stays healthy.
