The calendar for the 2023-24 season has just been announced, and it is also an opportunity to look at the program for new French people in the NBA! After having detailed that of Victor Wembanyama, we are interested in the beginnings of Bilal Coulibaly in the Great League.
Bilal Coulibaly is the 7th choice of the Draft 2023, and we almost tend to forget him. His debut in the NBA will therefore be an event for us French, but also for many observers. Chance (or not) of the calendar, he will play his first match on October 26 once morest… Indiana, the franchise that drafted him before sending him to Washington!

After that, Bilal Coulibaly and the Wizards will have a busy schedule: trip to Memphis and Boston, then reception of Atlanta, Miami and Philadelphia, before a first back-to-back (Charlotte and Brooklyn) at the beginning of November. Suffice to say that the French will directly be plunged into the deep end! After all, what better way to fully grasp the difficulty of an NBA season?
We do not know what role Bilal will have in this Washington team, but there is no doubt that his defensive qualities will be used a lot by his coach Wes Unseld Jr. And they will soon be put to the test once morest opponents such as Jayson Tatum, Jimmy Butler and Mikal Bridges. The challenge is daunting, but we have full confidence in our Frenchie not to let ourselves be walked on. It should come as no surprise when the Celtics lose to the Wizards with a Tatum at 3/15 shooting…
We know the posters of Bilal Coulibaly’s first games in the NBA, and the program is strong! The Frenchman will have to be solid to make a successful debut and show that he is not a Draft Top 10 for nothing…
