Zaccharie Risacher Moves To Hawks At No. 1 In Latest ESPN Mock Draft 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri May 31, 2024 3:04 pm

ESPN has moved Zaccharie Risacher to the Atlanta Hawks with the No. 1 pick in their latest mock draft.


Every team drafting in the top-5 has interest in Risacher, who is not expected to fall out of the top-2.


During the playoffs, Risacher averaged 15.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, shooting 67% from the field and 38% on 3-pointers.


The direction of the Hawks remains unclear as Trae Young and Dejounte Murray are trade candidates and while they will definitively retool their roster, it remains to be seen if their ownership will embrace a rebuild. A further complication of any desire to rebuild stems from their decision to trade away control of their next three drafts to the San Antonio Spurs as part of the Murray deal in 2022.

Hawks saw Luka cook last night and don't want to fumble another draft pick. That being said, Sarr is a big that can't shoot nor have an offensive game. He's an off-brand Rudy Gobert. The hawks already have two players like that in Capela and Big O..

I would not exactly call "big that can't shoot" a guy that took 47 3pts shots in his last 24 games, and scoring on 30% of them... especially at 18 years old so having a lot of time to improve these numbers :wink:
