Bilal Coulibaly's offseason injury during FIBA EuroBasket play left the team and the fanbase wondering what his future in Washington could hold.
As a former No. 7 overall pick, the high upside is the lone thing that the team could cling on when it came to reasons to continue betting on the development of the french product.
Between inconsistent play, a surplus of competition on the roster and lack of production on the court, the noise surrounding Coulibaly's injury suggested that his setback could be the opening for other players on the roster to step up.
One player in specific, is second-year man Kyshawn George, who was immediately named a starter seemingly in Coulibaly's place when the regular season began.
