French wing Bilal Coulibaly has declared as an Early Entry Candidate for the 2023 NBA Draft. Coulibaly is projected to be a late-first-round selection in June's draft.
The 6-foot-6 wing has played for Metropolitans 92 in France this season, as a teammate with projected first overall pick Victor Wembanyama. Coulibaly has used the increased exposure to increase his draft stock this season.
The 18-year-old will be one of the younger players eligible for this year's draft. In 39 games between his club's senior and junior teams, Coulibaly has averaged 11.5 points on 54/35/72 shooting splits, to go along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game.
