Bilal Coulibaly is one of the rare satisfactions of the start of the season for the Wizards, absolutely catastrophic with only 3 victories and 16 defeats…
The Frenchman averages 8.2 points with 52% shooting success, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 interceptions in 26 minutes. His performances, both defensive and offensive, were even praised by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
There Washington franchise therefore put his French rookie at the center of a video where the latter looks back on his first steps in the NBA. With also comments from his teammates, Jordan Poole, Anthony Gill and Deni Avdija, all very complimentary towards the former back/winger of the Mets 92. The Israeli believes, for example, that Bilal Coulibaly adapted faster than him to the NBA, and to a new country.
His teammates, but also the staff like Brian Keefe, also appreciate that the Frenchman asks a lot of questions, and that he easily accepts comments. We also learn that Bilal Coulibaly has neither a car nor a driving license, and it is his teammates who take turns to take him to training or matches.
