The Atlanta Hawks had the number one pick for the first time in franchise history and drafted Zaccharie Risacher. How well did they do in this year’s draft?
The Atlanta Hawks tested their lock on lottery night and despite having just a 3% chance of winning the lottery, they ended up with the number one overall pick. This was the first time in franchise history the Hawks landed the number one pick and they clearly took it seriously as they were exploring all their options with the pick.The top pick in this year’s draft was Zaccharie Risacher out of France.
He projects to be a 3-and-D wing right away which should be an ideal fit next to Young. The big concern with this pick is that if the Hawks elect to go into rebuild mode and move on from Young then they will have to rely on Risacher to take on more on-ball responsibilities but he hasn’t shown any real potential or signs of being a primary or secondary on-ball creator for a team.The Hawks in the second round elected to go with another wing international prospect in Nikola Djurisic out of Serbia.
