The Washington Wizards have plenty of young talent on the roster to be excited about moving forward.
Between Alex Sarr, incoming rookie Tre Johnson and newly acquired Cam Whitmore, there's plenty of upside the Wizards are hopeful they can turn potential into impact with.
Sarr has the potential to be one of the most unique talents in the league if he can develop his inside game and prove his height isn't the only thing that makes him a big man.
Johnson enters the league with expectations that he can immediately prove to be one of the most complete scorers in the league.
Whitmore heads into year one with the Wizards hoping a change of scenery and an increased role allows for him to prove he's more than just a scoring wing.
However, one of the most intriguing prospects that wasn't mentioned is Bilal Coulibaly.
The former No. 9 overall pick has shown flashes in each of his first two seasons, but his main calling card his been his defensive versatility.
As on oversized guard, the French product's length and size allow for him to defend nearly every position on the floor.
In addition to his frame, the guard's defensive insticts and IQ allow for him to be a game changer on the defensive end.
Not to mention the strides he showed in his offensive game during his sophomore season this past season was encouraging considering what he has to offer as a two-way star for the Wizards.
Despite his potential to develop into that two-way star, he'll only be able to reach that ceiling if he's able to get out of his own way.
Over the last couple of seasons, Coulibaly's flashes have been overshadowed by the trouble his aggressive playing style has brought on the defensive end.
Not only has Coulibaly's aggressive defense restricted his impact with the Wizards, but the same issues have proven true overseas with France's national team in EuroBasket play.
In a recent contest, Coulibaly found himself fouled out of the game for Team France in only nine minutes of play.
Nine..
For a player set to enter year three of his NBA career, you'd hope that his awareness level would be just a bit higher, especially when it comes to awareness of foul trouble.
Coulibaly won't be able to impact the game from the bench and if he can't get out of his own way and tone down the aggressive play when needed to stay on the court, it'll be hard for him to stay on the court and get the much-needed minutes to help him develop.
