Bilal Coulibaly recorded 25 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTa), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Heat.
Back in the lineup after missing Thursday’s loss to the Bulls, Coulibaly recorded his first stat line this season with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists. Given the Wizards’ many young wings and the fact that they’ll likely hold onto their top-8 protected first-round pick, Coulibaly will face significant competition for rotation minutes when training camp opens next fall. Nights like Friday can only strengthen his case for a starting spot.
