They come from Levallois, both lose but it is the one we least expected who stood out the most during the night from Wednesday to Thursday in the NBA. While Victor Wembanyama was very discreet against Rudy Gobert for the 15th defeat in a row with the Spurs, Bilal Coulibaly was more convincing despite the defeat of his Washington Wizards against Philadelphia (126-131). He is unable to break a negative spiral (only three victories in twenty matches) but the young Frenchman put in a complete and encouraging match.
Bilal Coulibaly’s statistics sheet is commendable: 14 points in 28 minutes with appreciable skill (6 out of 10 on shots even if he only succeeded in 20% of his three-point attempts). A record to which must be added 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 interception. The latter was achieved against… Joel Embiid, the Franco-Cameroonian and MVP of last season. He was restarting the game from his camp when he saw Coulibaly steal the ball from him before scoring a dunk.
He keeps all his promises
Over these last ten matches, even if his team is in difficulty, the native of Saint-Cloud combines an interesting quality of skill with a success rate of 54% in shooting skill (including 47% at three points). This is what we can call a promising and interesting beginning.
Number 7 from the last draft keeps its promises. Still as solid in his half, Coulibaly also gained more and more confidence in attack. Considered the sixth man of the Washington Wizards, Coulibaly is slowly getting closer to a starting place on his new team.
