Sixers rookie Matisse Thybulle discusses his progress after a win over the Jazz.
Transcript
00:00 >> Did you just see Ben out of the corner, eye cover coming down?
00:02 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:03 And I've learned that you pass the ball to the vet to be out there with them too.
00:06 They like that.
00:07 >> [LAUGH] >> You were talking a little bit about
00:12 your offensive game.
00:14 What are the things they're telling you to focus on?
00:19 >> I don't know, space the floor, step into threes,
00:22 sit deep in the corners, hit side step threes.
00:26 And then when I'm coming off, DHOs, just to put pressure on the rim and
00:31 then paint the green.
00:32 >> He was saying that he wanted you to take those side step and
00:37 kind of spot the threes.
00:39 Did you get to talking to him at some point about maybe shooting off DHOs?
00:44 Is that accurate?
00:45 He said that he didn't want you taking the JJ, right?
00:49 That's your threes?
00:50 >> Yeah, I mean, it's, I use discretion now.
00:55 As opposed to just every DHO someone goes under, I'm not gonna pull it.
00:59 Like, I think I still shot, I don't think I have any DHOs that I want anymore.
01:04 I think I have them in some mix here.
01:06 But it's just like now I just have a better idea of what they want from me and
01:09 then just looking at the numbers is showing me what I'm better at and
01:14 then just sticking to that.
01:16 >> Speaking of discretion, you found a place where you're still able to gamble
01:21 tonight but without maybe picking up the cheap fouls for blocks.
01:25 Is that a matter of film study or instruction?
01:29 >> I think it's experience.
01:30 I think so like all of the above.
01:32 Just being out there and seeing it live, I think it's huge cuz all,
01:36 like most of these games it's my first time.
01:38 Like we played against them twice now so I have a better feel for the guys.
01:41 And just with each game I get a better feel for the pace and
01:43 what I can get away with with the refs or with like help side and
01:47 just go set the game and things like that.
