Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels praised the defensive ability of Australian-American Matisse Thybulle after Tuesday’s 127-113 home loss vs. the Portland Trail Blazers (5 steals).
(via atlhawksfans):
“That’s my guy. I actually take a lot of my game from him, the way he’s in the passing lanes. I was with him for our World Cup campaign two years ago, and I was really able to pick his brain and learn a lot from him and what he does at that end of the floor. He got me tonight. He’s so good at playing, too — reading the ball, reading your eyes. He got me like two or three times tonight. So, that’s cool going up against Matisse. Obviously he’s a really good defender, a guy that has been in the league a while now, knows what he’s doing. So like I said, I’ve taken a lot of my game from him.”
