Bilal Coulibaly is a teen prodigy and star small forward for the Washington Wizards and while he is still young, he knows what it feels like to play the best in the world.
The Frenchman was selected as the 7th overall pick in 2023 by the Pacers before being traded to the Wizards, and he believes Brandon Ingram was the toughest opponent he faced all season.
He became the youngest player (19 years and 96 days) to start a game for the Wizards against the Boston Celtics.
“[Brandon Ingram] gave us 40. I was playing great defense but he was just shooting over my head, I was like what am I supposed to do?"
Ingram stars for the New Orleans Pelicans and has been there for five years, after being signed at number 2 overall in the 2016 draft by the LA Lakers.
