We have seen franchises and NBA leaders come to France to see Victor Wembanyama play well before the 2023 Draft. And in recent days, as the big ceremony approaches (June 22), the Thunder and the Jazz have migrated to Monaco to see Bilal Coulibaly play.
Everyone knows Monaco for its casino and its Grand Prix. This time, it was not a question of the talent of Verstappen or Leclerc on Monegasque land but that of Mike James and the young people of the Mets de Levallois. The Betclic Elite Finals this year represent more than a series but a great stage for the most talented players in the French championship. And if there is one who has understood the stakes for him in these matches since the start of the Playoffs, it is Bilal Coulibaly. Evolving next to the big spotlights on Victor Wembanyama, Bilal Coulibaly continues his meteoric rise in the mock draftstarted at the end of May and intends to finish in apotheosis during his last matches on his native soil. To attend these meetings, there have already been people in the stands, including the executive staff of the Thunder.
We’ve been waiting for nearly a month for the name of the franchise that picked up this monster talent that is the Mets 92 winger. Wemby and Kyle Kuzma sold him well on Twitter, he sells very well on the field. Here he is, therefore, a member of the lottery picks according to the mocks drafts and guest in the famous Green Room of the Draft 2023 where the greatest prospects of the cuvée are found. The Utah Jazz and the OKC Thunder respectively have the ninth and twelfth pick of the Draft but are not yet 100% certain of the boy they will choose on June 22. The Frenchman would become an increasingly serious option for these two franchises, and that’s why Sam Presti, Danny Ainge and their teams came to visit the beautiful country of Prince Albert this week.
Given that Bilal cannot yet participate in private workouts within the franchises, the Jazz and the Thunder are getting a real head start on those above in the Draft who might be potentially interested as well. While waiting for the end of the Betclic Élite Finals, these two teams might well become the favorites to recover Bilal Coulibaly… and it is not the French fans who will be once morest sending this raw talent to franchises where it will be put to good use. , with an interesting playing time.
