2023 NBA Mock Draft

Pick Analysis. Bilal Coulibaly. 69. Scouting Report. Forward. Metropolitans 92. 14. player

The New Orleans Pelicans like wing players who can defend and none have risen faster on draft boards this year than Coulibaly, who put up big numbers down the stretch in France and whose athleticism has scouts drooling.

This is another team that I could see trading their pick, as the Pelicans are trying to move up to draft Scoot Henderson, or at least high enough to get a player who can impact winning right away.

Coulibaly may not be one of those guys, but the Pelicans love their position-less wings and try to grab the best one available here.
