"However, one of the most intriguing prospects that wasn't mentioned is Bilal Coulibaly. The former No. 9 overall pick has shown flashes in each of his first two seasons, but his main calling card his been his defensive versatility. As on oversized guard, the French product's length and size allow for him to defend nearly every position on the floor. In addition to his frame, the guard's defensive insticts and IQ allow for him to be a game changer on the defensive end."
"Despite his potential to develop into that two-way star, he'll only be able to reach that ceiling if he's able to get out of his own way. Over the last couple of seasons, Coulibaly's flashes have been overshadowed by the trouble his aggressive playing style has brought on the defensive end. Not only has Coulibaly's aggressive defense restricted his impact with the Wizards,"
The Washington Wizards have multiple young players with upside, including Alex Sarr, incoming rookie Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore. Sarr possesses rare height and could become a unique interior presence with an expanded inside game. Johnson projects as a very complete scorer upon entering the league. Whitmore seeks a larger role to show more than scoring. Bilal Coulibaly offers exceptional defensive versatility, length and instincts that allow him to guard multiple positions, and showed offensive growth last season. Persistent over-aggression and foul trouble have limited his impact and must be corrected for him to reach two-way potential.
