Why the Atlanta Hawks Took Zaccharie Risacher #1 Overall

Спорт

The Atlanta Hawks had the #1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. They selected the French 19-year-old, Zaccharie Risacher. In this video, I breakdown the upside to his game, and why the Hawks felt he was the right fit for their franchise, and the upside he has.

    He is the son of a basketball player, so there are genes and there a lifetime of proximity to the game, an absolute willingness to work on himself and the game, so he has all the tools. Physically he looks underwhelming but the reality is that he still makes the plays above the rim, using incredible timing, positioning and reads. He has a good chance of making good the #1 selection.

    At first I didn’t like the pick. I honestly wanted Sarr. But after their interviews I instantly knew we got it right. He said he was ready to work and will do anything to play. Meanwhile Sarr said he needed a nap in his post draft interview. We’ll see how those statements translate on the court.

    He’s not a stretch 4. Risacher is a winger. He’s more likely to play the 2 than the 4 in some lineups. Just because he’s 6’9” doesn’t automatically make him a PF.

    Oh, well that’s weird. JJ is better suited to playing the 4. Risacher will do most of his damage at the 3 I think. Add in Dyson Daniels who is a 6’7” guard and suddenly we have size and defense.

    lolol... nope. Zacch is a 19 year old kid that started the season as a backup and earned his way into starting and being one of the most important players in his team. And in EuroCup he averaged 11 points per game and shot above .400 from 3, whilst helping his team to reach the finals, losing against Paris Baskeball and in the French league playoffs he upped his scoring to 15ppg and help his team reach the semi-finals, where they had a good showing, losing 3-1 to the eventual champs, with 2 of the 3 losses being by only 5 and 4 points, which means that they were competitive. Zacch also broke his personal game high with 28 points in a semi-final game.

    i think sarr would have been a better fit on the hawks seeing as their bigs have proved again and again that they are not on par with the top players in that position.. i would rather they took the chance on a big instead of adding more depth in their wings given they already have options like jalen johnson, sadiq bey, and bogdanovic

    Bey is a UFA, and Sarr does not fit as well with Jalen Johnson (who the Hawks see as their future) as Risacher does. Risacher is going to be playing the 3 more than the 4, the Hawks want JJ to play the 4. This is why Sarr was not the pick, they would’ve needed Sarr to bulk up and play the 5, which is not what he wants to do in the NBA. He wants to play the 4.
