"Bilal Coulibaly entered the season with a lot to prove as a third-year man who's struggled to stay on the court long enough to prove why the Washington Wizards took a swing on his potential in the 2024 NBA Draft. As a former No. 7 overall pick, expectations were high for the French product entering the league, and as they should be considering the stock Washington invested in him when they opted to select him top 10."
"For Coulibaly, he's had a rough go throughout the first few seasons in the DMV. With a hamstring injury cutting his sophomore campaign short, to then suffering a thumb injury during the previous offseason that put him behind schedule entering year three, the oversized guard has seemingly had the odds against him. Nonetheless, as a player with elite two-way potential, it's clear why the Wizards still have high hopes for the type of prospect Coulibaly can develop into."
Bilal Coulibaly entered the season as a third-year player and former No. 7 overall pick with high expectations. He has struggled to stay on the court due to a hamstring injury that cut his sophomore season short and a thumb injury in the offseason that delayed his third-year start. Washington invested a top-10 selection in Coulibaly because of his size, skillset and defensive instincts. The guard has elite two-way potential but has been reluctant to be aggressive offensively, contributing to inefficient shooting splits. Coulibaly's three-point shooting has improved to 35%, indicating progress in his offensive confidence and efficiency.
