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.

Even in France he was unexpected, he started the season on the Mets youth team, earning a spot in the pro rotation during the season, finishing starter during the playoffs
The most notable trait for me, is Desire/Passion! You can see it! He wants to be great and he will be! His effort is A+! He is going to be special!

Every team is looking for a more skilled Siakam, that's the new player type GM's really like
Rememer one thing: last year, he wasnt supposed to play in the team with wemby in mets 92! He just improved so fast and hes a sponge, everything you say will be taken into account
I wanted the Spurs to take him with their other pick.. and then he took off in the draft rankings like nobody else lol
Miss this kind of analysis.. miss your videos..somewhat welcome back.. more vid to come
He’s definitely one of the few rookies that could still be very much growing which is another upside I believe the wizards were thinking about when drafting him
Great part about all this is he’s 18. I think he just needs reps
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.
8:25 Myles Turner over there lookin like a young Venus Williams lol.
I am So Glad you are Back. We missed you so much
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.
7:03 Wasn't afraid of the contact, either. What a beast
I legitimately lol'd when the "super fancy graphic" came up at the end of the video 😂
just look Coulibaly' s highlights in France. He dunks over all big guys....and his defense is so hard.....France's got talents
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.
Coach it’s good to have you back!!!
That graphic! 🤯🤯 I feel like I'm watching Pixar!
Superstar potential. My eye test tells me he has that Giannis ceiling. Still 18 and probably gonna have a growth spurt and be 6'11 in his 20s

@@EsanaNekwek-el4wq I’ve heard he was bilal was measured at 6’9 slightly b4 or after the draft, I’m not sure if it’s true or not
I am a bit concerned by getting beaten on backdoor cuts, but for anything screen related those are usually less used in France so it's just lack of experience
Thank you for more analysis
Missed the content brotha, thanks for this as a Wizards fan.
awesome breakdown!!!!
YOOOO ITS THE GOAT
Never thought he’d return
Thanks for the video Coach. Glad to hear you
Love my yearly coach daniel upload
Glad you're back
Great analysis! Do agree with almost every point but the 3's. He can be a way better , he just needs adjustment.
As a french, I'm proud to see so many of our young players go to the NBA with a chance to play a non negligeable role in this league. We have also many of them staying in Europe and play Euroleague which is a very tough competition with a different style. With this mix, we may have a great national team in the coming years, which is important for countries like us. 🇨🇵👍💙🤍❤️
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.
THIS is why I stay subscribed
Great video, Daniel!
welcome back!
I’m glad you’re back but what happened with your job with the Mavericks? I thought you couldn’t do these type of vids anymore?
The return of the King 2#
Legend is back man
This guy reminds me of Khawi and PG13. I’m NOT saying he is a superstar like these guys but I remember when Kawhi and PG got drafted the were defensive freaks first and then developed their offense over time. Coulibaly is going to be a defensive problem very quickly.
Mooooooooving on
he's gonna be good
Coach Daniel, are you back to making videos full-time or are you still with the Mavs?
WELCOME BACK!!!
What happened to your job on Dallas bro? Big fan of yours by the way.

Omg Daniel is back!!!
Good analyis. TBH all rookies are the biggest mystery because they haven't played any real NBA games yet lol... But I'm intrigued by this kid and I think he could be a shorter Pascal Siakam type player.

Reminds me of Dante Exum
give him a couple years he will be a big time player
You have to know that 3pts line is closer in Europe games. He isnt a range shooter so just let him take confident on the NBA range and become a nice catch and shooter
nice
Great player, But like any other rookie he needs to learn alot, but tbh who will he learn from in washington. Ofc in games but he will learn.
Good
Cool. What team are you with now?
YOOO DANIEL IS BACK TELL YOUR FRIENDS
vid on jordan walsh??
bien vu
in think id be wise not to make any assomptions on his game on the sole basis of a few SL games, if you wanna have a thorough analysis look at his games in LNB or wait for the season to start. I have plenty of hopes in him
Not a bust for sure ! he can dribbles like jamal crawford, just have to work on his jumpshot a little bit :)
He's going to be the new Batum.
Will be tough at 21! Weight room NBA mastesrty play... will be tough!

He's alright so far. He still needs a little more time imo.
His left hand suspect as hell. Can’t finish with his left neither,even when he drove left he went up with his right lol
That's a long hiatus
I think we can compare him rn to like a worse Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Ah yes, the next Bruno Caboclo
Frank Ntilikina
Y'all be saying anybody is the next one now
The Wizard shot their load too early. No way should have been picked up that early in a loaded draft. If that is the case, they should have traded down and still would have wound up with him and another pick in the 1st.
Was he not playing with wemby

So a mini giannis
He was drafted too high

He can't shoot. And he doesn't create his own shot. Ausur Thompson similar physical profile who I'm much higher on. He can't really shoot either yet but I see an aggressive attacker. Bilal was passive and wasn't looking for his own offense when I watched him live
