"Last season was an impressive one for Coulibaly. He took significant steps toward becoming a legitimate young star at the NBA level, doing a little bit of everything on both sides of the ball. Coulibaly appeared in 59 games, playing 33.0 minutes per contest. He averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks while shooting 42.1% from the floor and 28.1% from beyond the arc."
"Though he took a step back in the three-point shooting department, Coulibaly did exactly what Vecenie praised him for: Defended. He showed exactly why the Wizards drafted him when they did, and now, they just have to follow Vecenie's plan. Up to this point, they've done an underrated job in doing so, finding a way to bring in solid defenders to their rotation, with a much-needed sprinkle of offense."
Bilal Coulibaly made clear developmental strides last season, averaging 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in 33.0 minutes across 59 games while shooting 42.1% overall and 28.1% from three. His primary impact came on defense, leveraging length and athleticism to guard multiple positions. The Wizards have added defensive pieces such as Alex Sarr, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Cam Whitmore to complement his strengths. With improved supporting infrastructure and complementary defenders, Coulibaly can develop into a top-tier defender and foundational two-way piece during Washington's rebuild.
