Last season was a frustrating one for Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle. The veteran wing didn’t make his season debut until March 16. Once he was able to suit up, Thybulle played in the Blazers final 15 games, averaging a career-high 7.5 points per game on 48% shooting, including 44% on three-pointers.
Now, Thybulle is looking forward to next season, even giving indications that he plans to pick up his $11.55 million player option for next season.
“I can’t wait to get a full season under our belts,” Thybulle said. “Because this whole year, especially as we forged our identity as being a defensive team, I was just chomping at the bit.”
The former two-time All-Defensive Team selection is excited that Chauncey Billups received a contract extension. Thybulle expressed confidence in Portland continuing to improve into next season.
“Chauncey getting his extension is really exciting and definitely makes me optimistic for running it back with these guys,” Thybulle said.
