[Saba Sports News] The 2024 NBA Draft kicked off as anticipated on Wednesday night, with the Atlanta Hawks selecting Zaccharie Risacher as the No. 1 pick. Standing at 6’8″, the Frenchman was the predicted top choice for months.
Risacher will join an elite backcourt with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray on the Hawks. However, after another disappointing season, the team’s future remains uncertain. A breakout performance from Zaccharie could prompt GM Landry Fields to consider a complete rebuild.
Although Risacher isn’t projected as a generational talent, the Hawks believe he can make an immediate impact. If not, they are prepared to give him the time needed to develop his game.
