French forward Zaccharie Risacher, 19, becomes the fourth international prospect to be taken with the top overall pick in the NBA draft, going to the Atlanta Hawks.
Risacher became the second consecutive international prospect -- and fourth overall -- to be taken with the top overall pick in the draft. He follows fellow FrenchmanRisacher, 19, played this past season for JL Bourg in France's LNB Elite league and averaged 11.1 points and 4.0 rebounds across competition in both the EuroCup and the French league.
The 6-foot-9 forward separated himself throughout the draft process, with Atlanta -- which jumped up from the 11th spot to the top spot in the NBA draft lottery last month for the first time in franchise history.
Unlike last year's draft, with Wembanyama the obvious selection all the way through, it was a much more muddled process this year, with Risacher, Sarr, Sheppard and Connecticut center Donovan Clingan all discussed as possible options before Atlanta landed on Risacher with the selection. After the Hawks took Risacher, Washington then selected Sarr, a versatile 7-foot forward who has drawn some comparisons to longtime NBA star, with the second pick, as had been widely expected, setting the stage for the first true dramatic moment when the Rockets went on the clock with the third overall selection.
