Re: What to expect from Zacch Risacher in Year Two?
I'd say that's some low bars for Zacch. Even the Mikal Bridges comp is a bit low. Zacch was hovering around 40% from 3 and 50% from the field overall over the last 3 months. The analysis seems to suggest that he'll be an effective two way player for sure. I believe him and Dyson will take turns being the 3rd option. Could Zacch not be more Tatum than Bridges?

Re: What to expect from Zacch Risacher in Year Two?
Lets see if Zac can mirror Tatum's first 3 years.....
Would like to see him bulk up like what Kobe, Smoove, TMac, Anthony Davis did over 1 summer, when they were 20.

It's not realistic, but man...imagine a player with Giannis' size & agility plus Klay's skill, shooting & fundamentals.

Kevin Durant is a good comparison.Jamaaliver wrote:It's not realistic, but man...imagine a player with Giannis' size & agility plus Klay's skill, shooting & fundamentals.Spoiler:
KD and Giannia to San Antoino would be fun to watch.

I hope Dalton Knecht gets traded out of LA and it will be official this time. He deserves better.Jamaaliver wrote:
Scores 37 points his rookie season and he is a legit talent.

Zacch needs a minimum of 30 mpg and 15 field goal attempts per game next season.
