Bilal Coulibaly Making Waves for the Wizards: Fans and Teammates Impressed

By Mathieu S. | NBA Editor

Author of another big match for the Wizards, Bilal Coulibaly continues to gain confidence coming off the bench of his team. The fans notice him, as do his teammates. Tyus Jones was very complimentary when speaking about the Frenchman.

Although the defeats keep coming at the Wizards, with Jordan Poole still as irregular, the supporters still have reason to be confident for the future. And the draft of Bilal Coulibaly is one of them. Even if he remains a player off the bench for the moment, the Frenchman is gaining momentum, to the point where Wes Unseld Jr does not hesitate to give him the keys to the attack in certain sequences.

More involved on this side of the field, Coulibaly remains dominant in defense. He finished with 4 blocks (career high) against the Nuggets this Sunday night, while the fans loved his performance. For the future, we must hope that Bilal gains more responsibilities, perhaps thanks to a trade from Kyle Kuzma at the deadline for example. It is absolutely clear that Washington must find a solution.

Bilal Coulibaly congratulated by a teammate after his record

Déjà praised by Victor Wembanyama during their first confrontation last week, Coulibaly was also unanimous in his own locker room. Tyus Jones, the leader of the Wizards, said he was impressed by the Frenchman’s qualities. There is no doubt that Bilal will appreciate this very positive speech from a teammate.

Journalist : “4 blocks this evening for Bilal Coulibaly, which is a career record. What have you seen of him as a circle protector? »

Tyus Jones : ” Her size. His scale is crazy. He has good timing, he knows when it’s going to go to counter in the circle. Its very important. The majority of the time he also defends guards, so he has a size advantage over them and that is major for us. He also has very good defensive instincts. »

“He’s going to get even better in the future, which is pretty scary knowing he’s already an incredible defender. I don’t know how many blocks he had tonight, but it looked like he could block every shot. This is a great quality to have. »

Just like Wembanyama, Coulibaly is just a rookie, the third youngest in the NBA currently. Suffice to say that the next few years will allow him to progress, which is excellent news for the Wizards. His teammates are in any case won over.

Bilal Coulibaly convinced everyone at the Wizards. Fans and Teammates are impressed by the qualities of the full-back, who will only improve in the years to come. Hopefully the responsibilities follow now.
