Wizards regret in drafting Bilal Coulibaly grows after nightmare EuroBasket
"The Washington Wizards have penty of young talent on the roster to be excited about moving forward. General manager Will Dawkins is to thank for that, with several intriguing prospects being added to the team's rebuild over the last couple offseasons. With the likes of Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and Tre Johnson coming to mind, the Wizards youth movement is fully underway."
"However, the one name not mentioned is Bilal Coulibaly, who after his showing in EuroBasket for Team France, may not be one of the prospects that will bring excitement for fans moving forward. Coulibaly's struggles overseas this offseason have potentially been the final straw that will cause not only the fanbase, but the front office to admit that draft the French product may have been a mistake after all."
The Washington Wizards possess several young prospects including Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and Tre Johnson as part of a rebuild. General manager Will Dawkins added intriguing talent over recent offseasons. Bilal Coulibaly, initially valued for unique skillset and elite positional size, showed some sophomore-season offensive flashes and defensive upside. Coulibaly missed Summer League and represented France at EuroBasket, where struggles overseas intensified doubts about his development. Insufficient improvement prompted the team to add Tre Johnson with the No. 6 pick. Coulibaly’s recent play raised concern among fans and the front office that selecting him may have been a mistake.
