In an interview with Rafael Barlowe of the Locked On NBA Big Board, the Washington Wizards rookie Bilal Coulibaly provided a deep dive into his journey to the NBA, his mindset, and his playing style. The 19-year-old’s confidence and hard-working nature were evident throughout the interview. So much so that, he made the bold statement: “I’m trying to be Rookie of the Year for sure.”
Seeing Coulibaly set the bar so high for himself is certainly exciting. And why wouldn’t he? Less than a year ago, he was practicing with the U21 team of Metropolitans 92.
