Bilal Coulibaly lands with Wizards in NBA draft trades.

The Washington Wizards traded their eighth overall pick, Jarace Walker, and two future second-round picks to the Indiana Pacers for the seventh overall pick, Bilal Coulibaly, a 6-foot-8 forward from France with a 7-2 wingspan. Coulibaly is considered a project due to his limited shooting ability, but his lanky frame and raw ability give him high upside as a potential franchise centerpiece. The Wizards' front office has initiated a rebuild, trading away Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis, and will look to develop young players like Coulibaly, Corey Kispert, Johnny Davis, and Deni Avdija.

Walker, a 6-7 forward from the University of Houston, has defensive upside and the ability to space the floor. The Pacers received two future second-round picks in the trade, while the Wizards received a 'B' grade from CBS Sports for taking a chance on Coulibaly.
