Bilal Coulibaly Is the Biggest Mystery In The NBA

The Washington Wizards surprised the NBA by taking Bilal Coulibaly #7 in the 2023 NBA draft. A teammate of Victor Wembanyama's in France, Coulibaly specializes in defense. In today's video I breakdown his summer league performance. He will look to fit in next season next to Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole with the Wizards.

    To add a bit, Coulibaly was pretty unknown last year, even in France, and only started to have minutes with his team less than 6 months ago. As pointed out in the video, there is a lot of room for improvement with this kid.

    Coulibaly is so good that he made Coach Daniel back. I'm a Wizards fan and I really love the content. Like the Wizards' GM Will Dawkins said, Coulibaly is a mold of clay. He's very young, he will turn 19 this week. He's teachable and determine to improve. He will have a lot of time and opportunity in Washington. This is the perfect team for him.

    As I speak, the Olympics are just around the corner, Bilal Coulibaly had a pretty good season, he's very good defensively, between the summer league and the start of the season, he worked on his shooting, finishing at 35% on 3-pointers for the whole season, but the most surprising thing is that during the season he grew from 6'6 to 6'8. And during the offseason, the Wizards GM announced in an interview that they had measured him at 6'9. In addition to growing, Bilal is supposed to be working on his physique right now, putting on a few kilos of muscle, working on his handle and self-creation. If he develops properly offensively, he'll be an All-Star one day. As his defense is already elite, he can concentrate on his offensive game and his physique.

    Some stuff you gotta understand are also due to how teams are put together in the summer league. I mean they just throw 15 random dudes in a team have 2,3 practices and are like go play. When he gets a couple of seasons in with the same coach and players half of these mistakes in the video will disappear. The main question is his shooting.

    I can see him being a top 3 player from this draft when his offensive game develops. He has good offensive and defensive IQ. You can already see that he plays with high intensity on defense. His offensive game does need work like his shooting and ball handling, and when those improve, I can see him being a problem. As he gets stronger and his skills improve I can see this guy being a 2-way star in the future. I see him as a shorter and less athletic version of Giannis.

    Great assessment coach was very similar to mine before the draft scouting him in France… easy way to put it he’s a athletic wing with all the physical gifts to potentially be a star in this league… but it will take him a couple of years… now wit Washington’s new FO let’s see if they could develop talent there cuz their track record of doing that hasn’t been to great… and they got obstacles wit heavy shot volume coming from Poole and they still have to develop Johnny Davis which he had a decent summer league very interested to see how the wizards plan this out… great job as usual … more scouting videos like this would be great… peace

    I think he will grow a lot with experience. Form looks good and is something that a good shooting coach can fix in 1-2 years. Needs to work on his ball handling and like I said get more reps in to increase his vision and feel for the game. He has all the intangibles in the game, give this young man some time in the g league and he should be able to provide for washington around the all star game.

    From what I saw, he looks like in a couple years his shooting aggression will go up, as will hopefully his ability. His defense already looks great 1 on 1 with his ability to multitask likely going up as well with more experience. Overall I could see him becoming a great starting piece if he keeps at it. Although when he passed the ball at the top of the key it just looked like he gave up on his potential drive lol.
