El Ascenso de Zaccharie Risacher
The Atlanta Hawks have selected Zaccharie Risacher number one in the 2024 NBA draft, marking a milestone in his career as a Spanish-French player.
Born in Malaga, Spain, Risacher has emerged as a promising basketball star, taking over from compatriot Victor Wembanyama, who was number one the previous year with the San Antonio Spurs.
Risacher’s Future in the NBA
Risacher, from French side JL Bourg, joins the Hawks at a crucial time for the team, which is in a transition phase. Despite not having begun a rebuild, the team is also not a strong contender in the East, which poses an exciting challenge for the young player.
Son of former player Stéphane Risacher, who had an outstanding time at Unicaja de Málaga, Zaccharie Risacher has proven his worth by beating other talented players, such as Alex Sarr, in the number one selection in the draft.
Other Featured Picks
In addition to Risacher, other notable picks in the 2024 NBA draft include Alex Sarr, chosen by the Washington Wizards, and Reed Sheppard, selected by the Houston Rockets.
