Philadelphia 76ers Rookie Report: Norvel Pelle makes G-League debut

It took a couple of weeks, but all three of the Philadelphia 76ers rookies have finally seen game action either in the NBA or G-League this year.

For the first time this season, all three of the rookies on the Philadelphia 76ers roster saw game actions. Two saw it in the G-League and the other played with the Sixers. Sadly, there was only one rookie that impressed this past week.

20th pick, 2019

Matisse Thybulle played in four games, but only made an impact in two of them. In those two games where he saw significant minutes he totaled five points, four blocks and two steals. When given a decent amount of minutes Thybulle can produce, but right now the rookie appears to be on the fringe of head coach Brett Brown’s rotation. Unless injury occurs, this could be what his role is for the time being

More from Sixers News

Marial Shayok had a career high 42 points in his second game of the season for the Delaware Blue Coats, the Sixers G-League affiliate and in his third game he collect a career high 13 rebounds. Shayok missed the second game of a back-to-back for the Blue Coats due to illness, per Keith Pompey of Philly.com. There might be slighter regression in Shayock’s production at some point this year, but he will still be dominating whenever it happens.

Undrafted

After weeks of waiting, Norvel Pelle finally made his season debut with the Blue Coats, sadly it wasn’t his best performance. He shot 1-4 from the floor, had seven turnovers, six fouls and only six points. The only redeeming factors were that he had five rebounds and four blocks. It’s clear based on his production Pelle is dealing with a little bit of rust, but that should wear off as the season progresses.

Next. Thybulle Deserves More Minutes. dark

Both Thybulle and Pelle struggled to find playing time this past week, but at least all three rookies recorded minutes this season with either the Philadelphia 76ers or Blue Coats. Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks each rookie will see growth in their games.
