Now this interesting.
Wait whatttt. I’ll trust the front office but dang I wanted Cam.
Wow
If you’re starting a rebuild picking in the middle of the lottery, you might as well take the raw athletic freak with arguably the highest ceiling in the draft class.
oh my god

> Wizards will send one of the six (!) future second-round picks they’re getting from Phoenix and one of their own future seconds to the Pacers to move up to take Coulibaly, per league source.
VERY good trade. Perfect use of second round picks.
The French Mikal Bridges? Okay baby.
Wizards World Wide is fucking back.
Apparently spurs wanted him
Bilal you’re a WIZARD!
I LOVE IT
IS THIS WIZARDS BED WORTHY TONIGHT?

The Wizards take wing Bilal Coulibaly with the 7th pick (traded up with Pacers):
*vaulted up draft boards late after thriving in playoffs as Victor Wembanyama’s teammate
*super athletic: 6-foot-6 with 7-foot-3 wingspan
*excellent on/off ball defender
*raw offensive skillset
Trust in DAWKINS, need to watch more Bilal film
He’s tuff
This seems good to me, but does anyone know what second rounders we gave Indiana?
Holy shit
really interesting pick
Lfg
Sheesh this front office just keeps making trades
This is such a good move. Guy with astronomical upside is a great swing at number seven. We have plenty of minutes for him to play too.
There was no need to trade up. Indiana wasn’t gonna take coulibaly
Wizards gonna wiz.
I don’t know about the pick… but the trade up ?!? What is the fucking point
All of the air drained out of the front office not taking Cam there
I did NOT have this on my Bingo card
Bro…..WHY. Felt like their were multiple players better than him. Hope I’m wrong but I leave another draft dissapointed.
I like this pick, two seconds seems too high to move up one spot, but they’re just seconds and we got six of them from Phoenix.
None of us expected this pick. BUT I have complete trust in this front office
Consider this. Have any of us proved ourselves worthy of a front office job in the NBA? Even the best GM’s who work on this all year get picks wrong. Nobody can judge any move made tonight until these guys start playing. All we can do is trust the new GM and hope and pray
I dont believe in you at all Bilal but prove me wrong
