I know there are concerns about Risacher's athletic testing at the combine, buuuuuuuuuuuut.........I think he still has functional in game NBA athleticism. What I like about him is the quickness with which he makes decisions with the ball and without, in constant motion - unlike someone like Hunter who has to catch the ball and diagnose before making a move.
I'd play him at SG to start, he will have a length advantage over most. A taller Bogi perhaps. His off ball movement, quick release and perimeter defense is what Trae needs next to him.
If we play him at shooting guard to start I would like to see him bring the ball up the court some. Star talent in the making.jayu70 wrote:This was my general overview of ZR on the Squawk a week ago:I know there are concerns about Risacher's athletic testing at the combine, buuuuuuuuuuuut.........I think he still has functional in game NBA athleticism.

Well you see, Reddish seemed to have functional AA as well. His tests indicate he won't have a high ceiling and guys have to hit that to become what the Hawks need.
Otherwise they end up as Hunter, Collins, Huerter, etc. at the end of the day. Hawks were better served trading out of this draft.

Anyway the Hawks can get Diaw or Batum as an assistant coach?
