Lost in the chaos Wednesday night between Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns was a rookie recording another historical outing on the defensive end of the floor.

That, of course, would be Matisse Thybulle.

The Philadelphia 76ers guard became just the fifth rookie in the last 25 years to have multiple steals in each of his first four career games when he swiped four passes in the 117-95 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

On top of his four steals, Thybulle finished with nine points, three assists, two blocks and one rebound. After his performance, Thybulle became the league-leader with 12 total steals, just topping teammate Ben Simmons with 11.

He didn’t quite know what to think of that feat.

I don’t even know. It’s pretty crazy. I don’t even know what to make of it. I’m just going out there trying to do my job. To think that I can lead the NBA, even though it is so early, in any stat is pretty cool but for it to be one that I take this much pride in is pretty special.

In addition to leading the NBA in steals, Thybulle is also first in deflections per game (5.3), deflections per 36 minutes (8.7) and is third in total deflections with 16.

After earning the Defensive Player of the Year last season at Washington, Thybulle has established himself as a ball hawk on defense and that has translated over into the NBA so far this season.

Thybulle may not keep up his current pace of three steals per game throughout the entire year but he could find himself among the league leaders at the end of the season.
