The Indiana Pacers are selecting Bilal Coulibaly with the No. 7 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday night. The Pacers are trading Coulibaly to the Washington Wizards in a swap of the 7th and 8th picks in the draft. The Wizards are going to select Jarace Walker for the Pacers the following pick. Indiana will also get two second-round picks as part of the deal.
