The takeaway I got from in my opinion watching Bilal in the final is that he needs to work on the finishing, he missed like 2 easy finishes that basically got him put in the bench essentially. He really needs to work on his offensive game, especially the finishing when he does floaters. He did do his thing on defense for the minutes he was given, but if he had more offensive prowess, he would’ve stayed on with more minutes.
Happy for Bilal to get his moments in the finals - his dunk was a huge moment for France. Met him at IAD on the way to Paris and genuinely one of the nicest kids you could meet.
Unlike the Wizards, Team France was operating on a short and condensed schedule while competing for a medal. They had no time to bother with egos and player development. Therefore, is shouldn't come as a surprise to you all that Billal was primarily focused on playing the position of a situational defensive stopper, which is what he is at this point in his career, and also explains his limited minutes on the court.
I watched Bilal in the Canada and the US game. Not much shooting. Setting on defense and broke up a play now and then. Worked on passing. Glad to see him get the experience at the Olympics. It did seem like he will be building up more again this season. No surprises probably for the Wizards. I think that's the plan. Draft high again and win the lottery.
The potential is there, ball handling has to improve or he will be only marginally successful. I sometimes think 3 and D players are put on a pedestal and that level of play is equivalent to getting a C- grade. Drafted 8th? Needs to attack defenses and make things happen.
B i think BCOOL would have been better OFF playing in the SL 😮 at least he would have been FEATURE over there he was a 10th man off the BENCH barely playing an when he did HE was a after thought out there HIS own team was looking him off most of the time he was on the floor😢😢😢🤷

With JONAS
VALANCIUNAS & Alex Saar in the paint, let’s Jack some Three’s, as there will be a lot of Offensive Rebounds & easy Putbacks…
Bilal was in that game? Hard to tell with those other two taking all the shots.
