Matisse Thybulle Mentors Adou Thiero on Defensive Disruption

Since joining the Los Angeles Lakers, veteran Matisse Thybulle has been actively mentoring second-year wing Adou Thiero. Known for his defensive anticipation and havoc-wrecking style, Thybulle has advised Thiero on picking aggressive spots and maintaining ball pressure. Thiero has shown strong defensive upside this preseason under head coach JJ Redick, collecting multiple steals and blocks as part of the Lakers' aggressive full-court defensive identity.
