Bilal Coulibaly

The Keegan Murray, Neemias Queta, that's money in the bank.

PJ Washington, Tobias Harris, Sadiq Bey, Bilal Coulibaly.

Ayo Dosunmu, Dylan Brooks.

I need a forward.

So he's the longest tenured wizard after him.

It's the local Bali who's now only in his fourth year, um, which kind of shows you the levels that Gil is the last holdover, I think.

Um, from the pre-Will Dawkins era, which is kind of wild to think about, but understandable with the roster turnover, the overhaul with the rebuild, et cetera.

Um, but Gil comes back for his seventh season in DC, um, I remember last year, when they re-signed him, I told this story, and I'm going to tell it again.

So again, quick episode, but wanted to give a little bit of background and detail into the Anthony Gill signing, why the Wizards did it, why I think it's a smart signing and sort of where that brings them in terms of their cap sheet, their roster, and all that stuff.

I think I'm going to go on Locked On Wizards with my friends Ben and AB tomorrow to break down some rotational stuff.

If you missed it, I put an article out on Bolts Forever this morning breaking down the debate between who should be the final starter, Trey Johnson, the local to Bali, or Keyshawn George.

A lot of good stats and information in there for you guys to hopefully make an educated guess or an informed opinion on who you think should be that fifth starter.

But you're right, I think this is a discovery year for them in a lot of ways.

Like, Bob Carrington, are you part of our core or not? Bilal Coulibaly, are you part of our core or not? He's extension eligible.

I would be kind of pessimistic about his extension chances.

Mm-hmm.

KeSean George, huge versatile wing.

Bilal Coulibaly, a huge versatile wing, one of the best perimeter defenders right now in the Eastern Conference.

If you are adding another adequate defender on this wing in AJ and you're number one, this is raising your defensive ceiling overall, which I think is what is going to take this Wizards team as far as they can go.

I know they have the skill offensively right now.

If George, if Dibert's gonna suffer these problems, George is gonna suffer them even more because he has Young, Davis, and Dibert in front of him, plus Sar, and there's literally no guarantee George starts.

He probably does, but Bilal Coulibaly is there.

Trey Johnson is there.

Will Riley is there.

You need scoring and three-point shooting, there's Trey Johnson for you.

You need a defensive stopper, it's Bilal Coulibaly.

You need rebounding and size from this bench, DeAndre Ayton.

If you need somebody that could also rebound and give you some slashing ability and playing defense as well for you, Justin Champagnie, Chris Middleton, Will Riley.
