"Bilal Couliably entered the season with high hopes and growing expectations from a fanbase who's patiently waited for a player to step up and prove to be the team's future. Looking at the Washington Wizards history with NBA Draft prospects, any minor inconvenience sends a scare through a fanbase, who's constantly been dealt a bad hand of luck over the last few years."
"However, after returning to the court after missing the first four games of the season, Coulibaly's immediate impact took the worry from Wizards fans away quickly. The French product looked ready to showcase he was prepared for yet another leap in year three, which alone was great news considering the early flashes of promise from Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George. Unfortunately, that promise was quickly outweighed by the fact that the oversized guard suffered yet another injury hindering his development after returning to play."
Bilal Coulibaly entered the season with high hopes and rising expectations from a patient fanbase seeking a future cornerstone. A thumb injury delayed his start to his third season, but his immediate impact after missing four games reassured fans. The French guard then suffered a calf injury with no timetable for return, interrupting his momentum and development. Time on-court versus live competition is essential for a raw prospect, and repeated injuries risk depriving Coulibaly of crucial developmental opportunities. The setbacks increase concern that injuries could prevent him from fulfilling the potential of a No. 7 overall pick.
