Swipes four steals Thybulle ended with four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 win over Detroit.

Impact Thybulle struggled to contribute offensively but made a significant impact on the defensive end, leading both teams with four steals. The veteran wing remained in the starting lineup and played nearly 30 minutes despite his limited scoring involvement. His ability to generate steals gives him considerable value for fantasy managers targeting defensive categories, though his lack of offensive production limits his overall appeal.

Continues to start Thybulle closed with six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 138-117 victory over the Heat.

Impact Thybulle lost some playing time against Miami's towering frontcourt to big man Sandro Mamukelashvili, who logged 28 minutes off the bench. Thybulle has still been a steady source of steals and three-pointers so far, averaging 8.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes per contest over eight games (all starts).

Moderate line in defeat Thybulle racked up 10 points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and three steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 112-95 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Thybulle reached double figures for the Lakers, getting most of his points at the free-throw line and adding three steals. The wing's defense has earned him a starting role, though he picked up a technical foul in the fourth quarter as the game got away from Los Angeles. His minutes could fluctuate depending on the status of Ziaire Williams (foot), who is day-to-day.

Nets 11 points with four stocks Thybulle closed Sunday's 132-123 victory over the Jazz with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and three steals in 26 minutes.

Impact After scoring just three points in the Lakers' season opener, Thybulle has reached double digits in each of the past two games, draining threes and racking up the stocks.

Full stat line in team debut Thybulle accumulated three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 127-105 victory over Golden State.

Impact Thybulle didn't spend much time with the ball in his hands, but he still managed to post a full stat line. The oft-injured swingman is capable of piling up defensive stats in a hurry when given meaningful playing time, and it appears initially the Lakers are willing to trust him with minutes in the mid 20s.

Starting Tuesday Thybulle will start Tuesday's preseason matchup against Sacramento, Ryan Ward of SI.com reports.

Impact Thybulle will get an opportunity with Portland's first unit against the Kings. The defensive-minded wing will look to make an impact with his steals and perimeter defense, though his offensive contributions have historically been limited. His starting assignment Tuesday doesn't necessarily indicate that he'll hold a first-unit role when the regular season begins.

Impact Head coach JJ Redick specifically highlighted Thybulle's ability to disrupt passing lanes, joking that his teammates need to learn not to throw the ball when the veteran wing is positioned to make a play. Thybulle's defensive ability should give him a strong opportunity to earn consistent minutes as Los Angeles sorts through a crowded competition on the wing.

Competing to start Thybulle is battling for a starting spot at training camp, per Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com.

Impact Lane believes Thybulle is third-best fit in the starting lineup behind Ziaire Williams and Jake LaRavia. Thybulle is primed for a big role as a three-and-D threat for the Lakers, but staying on the court has been an issue in recent years. He's logged just 45 regular-season appearances over the past two seasons and may not be trusted with substantial workloads, but Thybulle has managed to average at least 1.2 steals every year of his career despite never playing at least 26 mintes per game.
