2024 NBA draft rankings

1. Zaccharie Risacher | SF | Bourg (France)



6-foot-8 ½ | Age: 19.2 | Previously ranked: 1

Strengths: Risacher is a versatile wing whose ability to shoot on the move, competitiveness and versatility defensively and overall feel for the game helped him stand out against men playing high-level competition in the EuroCup and French league.

Weaknesses: He lacks ideal length and strength. While he shows ability as a passer and attacking in the open court, he is early in his development as a shot creator, playing a narrow role over the past season, leaving questions about his ability to soak up greater usage long-term.

The verdict: Risacher found other ways to contribute when he hit a midyear shooting slump and put together several strong playoff performances to finish the season. He has made a convincing case to hear his name called early in this draft, as every NBA team is looking for players in his mold.

That minor possibility of developing into Klay Thompson is literally the only reason the dude is in conversation as a top-3 selection.

Even in an underwhelming draft, this kid is extremely limited.

Tonight! This may be our new Hawk. Guess we find out soon!

Hawks got their man! He's played as a pro overseas and now he's in the NBA!
Good size. Good defender. Great scorer. May even play the 2 guard with Trae.
Grabbed a 2nd rounder that may be good also. Atlanta had a great draft!

Arguably, the most consistent aspect of Zacc's offensive game: transition scoring.

Improved Ball handling is obviously his #1 focus in the short term, but I'd like to see a mid range jumper added to his arsenal. Adding a 3rd level to his scoring package could be huge for nights when his 3-pt shot isn't falling and the defense is focused on shutting down his drives to the rim.

I truly hope these two have a career long rivalry for the next 15+ years that comes to define this era of NBA Basketball...

It's hard for me to put my finger on it.
He has more of an offensive repertoire than Klay, left had finishing etc., his footwork at 19 in the paint and around the basket is something Klay didn't have. Even with his handle needing work, still better with the ball than Klay
