In my first Annual Checkup of the 2025 offseason, I suggested the Washington Wizards may have found a building block in Alex Sarr. He rated below average, but his performance for his age was pretty good, and with normal improvement, he could end up great.
Why am I rehashing? Because — believe it or not — the same is true for Sarr’s countryman Bilal Coulibaly.
Like Sarr, I get it if you felt disappointed in Coulibaly’s performance this season. It was uneven. He shot 28.1% on threes and only 50.0% on twos.
