Matisse Thybulle Achieves Top Steal Rating in NBA 2K27

Matisse Thybulle, a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, has been recognized for his defensive skills with a top rating for steals in the upcoming NBA 2K27 video game. He shares a 98 steal rating, placing him among the best defenders in the league.

Thybulle's defensive prowess has been well-documented, especially during his healthy seasons, where he averaged over two steals per game. Despite recent injury challenges, he has maintained a strong reputation as a perimeter defender, tying for the highest steal rating alongside players like Ausar Thompson, Cason Wallace, and Dyson Daniels.

As the Lakers prepare for the new season, Thybulle's health will be crucial. After dealing with knee issues, he is reportedly fully healthy and ready to contribute. Head coach JJ Redick is expected to manage his playing time to ensure Thybulle can perform effectively throughout the 82-game schedule.
