Draft Notes

Coulibaly is an upside athlete with awesome physical tools. He’s a long, springy, bouncy athlete with great open court speed and above the rim ability. While his game is still raw and unrefined he’s starting to put it all together and putting up nice numbers.

On the offensive end Coulibaly is a slasher, cutter and instinctive scorer. He’s developing the ball handling/driving ability to take advantage of his impressive speed and hops. He loves to get downhill and has impressive deceleration ability, letting the defender fly by, before going up to score. Has a great euro-step in the lane and creative finishing ability.

His outside shooting is an area that will need improvement. He can hit the 3 but needs to sped up his shot and get more consistent.

Coulibaly is a versatile and disruptive defender who uses his elite athletic tools and freaky length to pester ball handlers and disrupt passing lanes.

Easily passes the eye test. Glides around the court with smooth athleticism, making other players look like they’re moving in slow motion.
