What Did we Learn About Zaccharie Risacher?

[@Srgtheqb4124]

He’s gonna be great. He’s versatile, he can have an impact right away

[@thekidshere6955]

I agree

[@bigdollabill7426]

Yep but he’s need more strength and aggressiveness😤

[@sweetnessdabutta9985]

I thought you were spot on for most of the things you highlighted. But I will say this. In the 1st game where he scores 18pts he was playing SF. The game where he had 11 pts he was playing SG. Due to all the injuries to wing players the Hawks had during Summer league. I believe he will play SF for the Hawks. If he does, that's big for him because, as you saw, his guard like skill set will set him apart from most SF. I think everything you said about him needing to tighten up his ball handling, creation with the ball in his hand, timing, all of that will look less clunky at SF vs 2G and will give him the opportunity to improve in those areas while still being very effective from Day 1. But I personally am excited about his basketball IQ and his understanding of the basics and fundamentals is what will give him a chance to be more than a high level role player if he wants. The sky is the limit for him because of those fundamentals. If he builds on that, of course, add some weight and strength and a killer mentality watch out.

What's their starting 5? cuz Deandre Hunter is still there, Jalen Johnson is still there and Dyson Daniels is the newest addition, so im thinking PG: Trae, SG: Bogi, SF: Zach, PF: JJ C: Capela, Sixthman: Deandre

[@sweetnessdabutta9985]

@HahabalaUajj so I base the starting five off development and who complements Trae and JJ the most. I'm only interested in getting the most out of Trae and JJ period. So, with that being said. starting 5 is....Young, Daniels, Zacc, JJ, Okungwu. This lineup does a few things for the team as a whole and JJ and Trae. 1. It allows Daniels and Zacc to guard the best backcourt threats on the floor. 2. It also allows JJ and Okungwu to not have to guard on the ball and be help defenders and get rebounds. 3. Zacc, even at the 3, is going to get all the Bogi type looks from 3 all the pen down screens, back door action all the catch and shoot. Basicly, everything you want him to get and be able to do, he is going to get all of that offensively with Trae and JJ feeding him and freeing him up for quality shots. 4. The size and defense and athleticism that would be on the floor surrounding Trae is everything you could want. 5. JJ and Trae and JJ, and Okungwu random are magic. 6. That starting line-up allows Bogi to stay as the 6th man and bring scoring punch off the bench. Hunter played his best brand of basketball, coming off the bench. 7. This allows the 2nd unit to have vets on it to go along with Bufkin, Capela, Gueye, Nance, Vit, and Matthews. It's just makes the bench so much deeper and allows you to mitch and match whatever you need to get the job done qtr to quarter half to half. 8. It allows you to have a fresh Hunter and Bogi for the end of the game if you need them to close games. The line-up you close games with doesn't have to be the line-up you start games with.

@@sweetnessdabutta9985 i don’t really think dyson and onyeka will start

[@sweetnessdabutta9985]

@HahabalaUajj who would you start over Daniels But I get it...nobody but Quinn really knows....that's was just what I would do...to.get the most out of the team.

[@CadeTorres7]

@@sweetnessdabutta9985 it’s obviously Bogi, when trae is on off nights Bogi is the guy u want to take the responsibility + the spacing he brings, he is the guy u want alongside trae and zach

[@MimieThalie]

In France we love polyvalence, and he needs 1 or 2 years to developpe all his competences, but he has, like Salaün or Wemby, this little think named "french flair" in rugby, which make the difference and is spectacular.. Something between creativity and madness.. Go for our French "basket Champagne" team.. 🇨🇵 ❤

[@RogerThat902]

The shot selection was meh, I agree, but I’m holding out hope it’s because they told him to shoot more 3s. They said multiple times the Hawks were encouraging him to get up 3s, so I’m hoping that’s why.

[@lucian6857]

that s still only two games, you will see that is an elite shooter, he just have to adjust his selection

[@arjunthomas368]

He feels a little like Siakam

[@_ben_miller]

siakam is stronger and more efficient of a player. but kinda close maybe

[@jacobstrouble6631]

Looks like the Hawks have 2 Jalen Johnsons. I'll take it.

[@bcf_double0768]

They all booed this man euro players are good

[@malikreid8939]

I give it 2 years. For what the hawks are trying to run he is the glue guy. I can see them moving Jalen to the 4 and him to the 3

[@eezy.knewsome]

Jalen already plays mostly at the 4

[@plasticwheelchair1186]

Yeah idk if a #1 pick ever starts off the bench but i think the starting lineup should be Trae Dyson Hunter JJ Capela. Who yall think should start?

[@_ben_miller]

i think nance/ bogdan should start over hunter.

[@Ericericericericericeric]

It’s not like the hawks are competing for a chip so they’re probably gonna start him over Dyson at the 2.

[@charlesdalast5604]

I don't see it Brandon Miller clears him by a lot Sarr and him both can thank Wemby for getting them drafted so high.

[@dreamerbeamer]

You can say that again! 2 summer league games is definitely a strong indicator of his true potential. The hawks should be looking to trade him for Brandon Miller or Wemby. Great input!

[@charlesdalast5604]

@@dreamerbeamer there’s no way you look at him and see a quality no.1 overall pick He’s a rotational player or a quality 3rd or 4th option on a good team at best

[@dreamerbeamer]

@@charlesdalast5604 the hawks are a unique case in the sense that they were just simply looking for a player that best fit their system. They honestly are a mediocre team due to a misalignment of ideals and are still trying to figure it out. The hawks franchise still believe that Trae is their main player and they continue to keep building a team around him. The hawks dont need another guard like Reed shepard.

[@DA-yo3zm]

Hawks should trade Trae young to phoenix suns for

[@Mario-bh9dp]

Weak draft Hawks should’ve been smart enough to trade that pick for an impact player

he's just kyle kuzma: long forward who can shoot and can think offense well, but wastes his length on defense with no sense of what's a good risk/ what's not......sarr, buzelis, edey, carter, holland, castle, sheppard, cody, topic, carrington, ware, mccain, tyson, holmes, missi, dillon, shannon, dunn, collier, filipowski, kolek, larsson will be better than him. he'll just put up inefficient offense, get overpaid for his 22, 5, and 3, and be bad at everything else

[@dreamerbeamer]

nah

[@deewilliams8363]

Zaccharie Risacher defense isn’t going to get any better. Snyder can’t coach not a lick of defense. But his offense will improve then he will ignore the defensive side of the ball, and he’ll be just like Deandre Hunter.

[@_ben_miller]

or kuzma

Definitely not a #1 pick talent

[@BlueGrovyle]

So what? He's looking to be a great fit on the team. Giannis wasn't a #1 pick talent but you'd draft him at 1 if you could start over, right? The order only matters if they could have gotten something in return for trading down without risking someone else drafting him, unless you think he just doesn't belong in ATL.
