Zaccharie Risacher is Not Your Typical Rookie

[@JustDejiNxtgen]

He’s got perfect fundamentals and still has a lot of room for improvement he’ll be an amazing player in the future

[@thekidshere6955]

I agree… scary that he’s only 19

[@538696]

That's the whole deal. Draft a 19 year with the physical tools who is good right now. Usually you have to choose between older guys or young projects. If he gives nothing back on either end and is above average on both ends then from the jump he'd be the second best player on the team. ​@@thekidshere6955

[@floatgamehoops3117]

If he bulk up in weights room, similar to a body type of giannis & hachimura. He will be unstoppable in the future

[@DemariusWilborn]

He reminds me of gianis

[@lexzone-six9912]

Never seen a #1 overall pick get talked about less than this kid.

[@GirlsLuvMyDrip]

Paolo banchero treatment

[@surisuri1002]

They better stop playing and start him over Hunter

[@rong8889]

Real talk!

[@killa6tv931]

Really? Hunter got that D!!! No diddy

[@MattyOkay]

*WITH Hunter. Zac at SG. We need the size and I don't trust Dyson on offense just yet.

[@PorkyPIGG]

@@MattyOkay Dyson is the best defensive player on the Hawks and you NEED him next to Trae. Don’t forget Dice was the 8th pick in the draft and hes still only 20 years old.

[@surisuri1002]

@@PorkyPIGG yea fax I like his upside as an off ball cutter and spot up option. That’s all Trae needs from him on offense, and then on defense he’s the star. Also Deandre Hunter has just disappointed me enough man😭

[@bzaust]

Risacher and Daniels are gonna add a level of defense around Trae Young that we've never seen. Honestly think Daniels will give us the defense that we were hoping Dejounte would provide. But Risacher has looked promising, as of now I'm glad we took him over Sarr.

[@drama_killer]

I love that he plays and takes pride in his defense as a young player. He’s gonna be a lot better than the “experts” think.

[@hmohngcheelee7549]

This draft class, really as some depth, I'm looking forward to seeing these guys turn into great role players or borderline all stars

[@JustDejiNxtgen]

Salaun dude gonna be different

[@Ebriel0000000]

Yes : many people said it was a weak draft class but there will be very good players in it. No Chet, Wemby or Flagg of course but far from trash ballers.

[@gwada9718]

He’s like Scottie Pippen. Does everything well. Intelligent player

[@GeorgiaSwag]

I was skepical when the Hawks chose him. Im not anymore. He looks good for 19. He will be a starter soon.

[@Generalsrb1]

On your note about strength, hes already put on 20 pounds since being drafted by the hawks so I’m not too worried about it

[@Marshall17101972]

It'd be great if you could wrap up the french picks reviews by looing at Tidjane Salaün next, he seems very underrated and not talked about much for a top 6 pick

[@Jean-Paul154]

France taking over the NBA 🇫🇷

[@imrealtrustme3116]

He’ll be a great Scottie Pippen one day 100%

[@NAMISIMP]

here after bro scored 33

[@bamiseogundipe]

It’d be super cool to see him do well I can’t lie

[@JantzyGaming0504]

This rookie draft class are not that bad

[@arnodil5325]

Dalton Knecht agrees 😶

[@JantzyGaming0504]

@@arnodil5325 agree more

[@kjabber7245]

Dude is 19 with international experience. He'll grow more into his body and gain confidence. Will be interesting to see if/how he progresses. Very intrigued by the trio of Risacher, Daniels, and Johnson on this Hawks team.

[@scottmadflip]

Spot on analysis.

[@Ebriel0000000]

Zacch's father lost (only by 10) the 2000 olympics finals against team USA in Sydney so you can say he was born with a ball in his hands. Last year i said he would be a great choice in the draft as he was only #5-6 seed and everybody thought Sarr would be #1... then Zacch was #1 and i'm convinced he will be the best rookie with Castle. Spurs dreamt of drafting him, Hawks did : they will be rewarded.

[@VisionzTrue]

i wish he would start over hunter

[@DFSSPACE1]

good breakdown, go hawks

[@gtrain2024]

He better start i got him in fantasy

[@TheFilmSpace1]

Told everyone he’s a beast

[@Coldestaevadoit]

You should also look at his pre nba tape. He’s not a decent shooter he’s a great shooter

[@demarcusjohnson8498]

He look like a tall Trae young

Rookie first team ! 🏀🇫🇷👍

You should review rookie Ryan Dunn

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

As a rule of thumb, an international player is always going to do better than his draft position indicates. Fans resist the drafting of foreigners. And owners want to sell tickets.

[@lawbinson]

I mean, Darko and Bargnani were still selected high even way back in the day.

[@nicholaswalker5394]

He is still not aggressive enough like a normal 1st pick

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

Stop trying to predict his numbers. Lol. Just know he can shoot the ball. He has good shot mechanics. He can shoot from anywhere. It appears he can give you any shot. His game will mature. He's still young. He has a great foundation though.

[@marvinfollero846]

Paul George prototype

[@michaelahurt]

Expecting that level of shot creation, shot making and ball handling based on where he is now is probably a little much. PG is one of the more skilled players in the NBA. And he was also a significantly twitchier and more explosive athlete at that age than Zac A Tatum prototype is more realistic. Similar build and athleticism, good not great shooter, and Tatum has become primarily a straight line driver who isn't a particularly good isolation player and gets a lot of his value from his defense. Risacher can absolutely do that in 7 years.

[@bigavelik]

Stunting like his daddy!

Hawks drafted Luka and traded him , biggest mistake of all time in sports

Welcome back Robert Covington

When are you going to stopped being impressed by the iq or the skill set of european players ???

[@Caleb6000]

Batum regen

[@michaelahurt]

He's not that level of passer. And he's a more aggressive scorer with better slashing skills than Batum was Guys like Batum, Diaw and Draymond were pass first. I don't think you can say that about Risacher. But as a floor, yes. At worst Risacher is the kind of player who -- like Batum -- will continue getting playoff minutes late into his career because of his size and shooting.

[@damirskee8990]

The slurp fest shall begin 😂

[@GoulaLegamer]

1:31 a solid contest ? he's literally beind the shooter lmao i think he ain't that good on defense fr

You got no ball knowledge 😂

@@galaxyz7647 u are pure delusion incarned

Definitely a contest on shot....you can tell Hali felt it by how he leans to side after release

[@dreamerbeamer]

Bruh has never played basketball before 😂

[@biggatorbossman1911]

He sped up halis shot cause he knows risacher didnt allow himself to get screened correctly so he had to get it up quick affecting the accuracy of his shot. Good defense
