Although the Wizards ultimately lost to the Pacers this Sunday night, Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr still shined with their team. This is especially the case of the first city, which continues to be a hit in one particular area.
The Wizards’ bad collective season continues, with a defeat by a score of 103-115 against the Pacers this Sunday evening. But at this point, we understood that winning was not a priority for Washington, which should instead recover a big draft pick NBA next June, with why not the Cooper Flagg phenomenon in its sights.
It would be a nice reinforcement for Brian Keefe’s men, who can already count on certain players to better prepare for the future. Alex Sarr compiled 17 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks against the Pacers, confirming that he is getting better and better for his rookie campaign in the Wizards. Even Coulibaly was pleasant to see, especially in defense.
Bilal Coulibaly still creates buzz with his performance
Author of 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in 38 minutes of play, the Frenchman benefits from the total confidence of the staff today. And we can say that he does the job, especially in defense with a pretty crazy sequence, during which he chained two violent counterattacks. A definitely special player in this sector.

More great things from Bilal Coulibaly, who continues to impress observers with his defense. Offensively? Should get better once the Wizards prioritize him.
