Wizards rookie Bilal Coulibaly is “trying to be Rookie of the Year”

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.
