Early on draft night, the Washington Wizards shocked the world by trading up for the seventh pick to take Bilal Coulibaly. A move that left many confused but was easily explained away by the fact that the Oklahoma City Thunder were attempting to leapfrog the team to take their guy.
The selection, and the trade that allowed them to do so has injected energy into the fanbase. Wizards Twitter is buzzing and it’s not hard to see why. They now have multiple young stars with high potential and a clear path going forward.
The biggest question regarding the team, however, is where Coulibaly will fit in on day one.
