What are your expectations for Risacher, the real ROY, in Year 2?

I feel like if his movement shooting continues to improve he will able to truly have a positive impact offensively and should be neutral defensively, which is a clear pathway for positive impact by Year 2.

If his shooting doesn't continue to build on his end-of-year progress, the Hawks may have some spacing issues as NAW/Daniels/Krejci aren't exactly consistent or high-volume shooters.

Most are expecting continued growth on year 1. Quin says he's a hard worker. I think it took him awhile to get acclimated to the NBA 3pt line, the speed etc. Love his footwork around the basket and his ability to finish with his left hand. Paint finishing should improve with increased strength. His defense wasn't bad for a19 year old, used his length well. High IQ player who understands where to be.
And he's got the master Kyle Korver helping him. :D

ZR seems unlikely to match the 4 40-point games next season with a deeper, more veteran laden team around him.

Hopefully he improves on his rebounding and assist numbers, though.

Maybe. I mean he was on a minutes restriction for most of the season. :D
Agreed on rebounding and assists.

Mikal Bridges 2.0 feels like a realistic outcome for Zacch at this point.

I expect him to average 13 field goal attempts per game.

I would like to see him average 15 fga per game.

On Zaccharie Risacher: “A big part of the reason we were willing to add guys to push forward was the play of Zaccharie Risacher. From Christmas on, he was awesome. Go look up the stats and you’ll see how good he was after Christmas. (Note: Risacher averaged 13.9 points on 50/40/73 shooting splits over his final 45 games of his rookie season.) We know what Trae (Young) and Jalen (Johnson) are. Dyson (Daniels) is become a big-time player. But Zaccharie gave us the confidence to add to the roster,” a Hawks front office executive said.
