"Bilal Coulibaly has shown plenty of flashes through his first two seasons in the NBA. As a rookie, the oversized guard showed promise as a capable offensive weapon, but his true calling card came on the defensive side of the ball. Between his size, insane wing span, agility and defensive instincts, the French product quickly proved to be a nightmare for opposing offensive players."
"Coulibaly's defensive abilities alone made him an intriguing prospect, but the idea that if he could develop his offensive game to pair with his defensive upside, the potential for the guard would be off the charts. Coming into his sophomore season with the Wizards, it was clear early on that the guard put in work over the offseason with offense being the main focus of the areas he looked to improve."
Washington has assembled a young, high-upside roster through multiple rebuild maneuvers. Alex Sarr and rookie Tre Johnson draw attention, but Bilal Coulibaly represents an underrated two-way talent. Coulibaly established himself as a defensive disruptor thanks to size, long wingspan, agility, and instincts. Offense became a primary offseason focus, and the sophomore campaign showed clear advancement: 12.3 points, five rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 42.1% from the field. Improved scoring polish and emerging facilitation expanded his projection and increased expectations for a more complete on-court role moving forward.
