Bilal Coulibaly

A member of the Indiana Pacers for only a matter of seconds, Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly made up for lost time in the best way possible: punishing their defense with an extended stay at the rim. Heeding the age-old advice of following your shot, Coulibaly’s hustle affords him an opportunity at a second shot attempt. Taking in the scene of the Indiana Pacers’ scrambled defense, the No. 7 pick trusts his ability to win the race to the rim before the opposition can react, proving successful with a jarring one-handed flush over a vulnerable rim protector. A bright spot during the Wizards’ lost season, the talented swingman used his athleticism to do a little bit of everything, livening Washington’s second unit with 17 points, five rebounds, two steals, one block, and a pair of triples to fuel a home win on December 15, 2023.
