Bilal Coulibaly keeps climbing in his second season with the Wizards

The right wrist fracture that cut Bilal Coulibaly’s rookie season short also confined his dominant hand to a cast. Unable to practice with his right hand, the Washington Wizards guard built up his left, doing “everything you can think of” on the court, he said.

His work showed when he posterized a Magic defender on his first career lefty dunk.

Wrote about another efficient night for Bilal and how it fits into his strong start to the season. Also spoke to Corey Kispert about his early-season slump. Kispert, as always, was very insightful into how his adjustment to Washington's new offense has led to some of the struggles/lack of rhythm. Also got some detail on how he weathers cold streaks that I left out of the story for space reasons:

When the ball is coming off funny/shot doesn't feel right, he has trusted people in his corner he goes to for advice and help. But when it all feels fine and he's missing? Kispert just unplugs from basketball. This stretch has been a little bit of both, but nothing he hasn't seen before.
