Author of a great season with Bourg-en-Bresse, Zaccharie Risacher has continued to rise in draft projections this season. To the point of being selected number 1?
In the Risacher family, one basketball player can hide another. After the successes of Stéphane Risacher at the end of the 1990s and during the 2000s, his son Zaccharie is entering the NBA draft this year with great aspirations. On the night of Wednesday June 26 to Thursday June 27 he could be selected high, and even very high not an NBA franchise. Projected in the top 2 by most American specialized media, Zaccharie Risacher was born in April 2005 in Malaga, where his father was playing at the time. Trained at ASVEL, Zaccharie Risacher had a full season this year as a starter at JL Bourg-en-Bresse, where he played almost thirty minutes per match.
A 2.07m winger, Zaccharie Risacher inherited the family’s shooting ability. he is a very good outside shooter, even if he needs to improve his throwing consistency and his ability to create his own shot. At only 19 years old, Risacher has already experienced the Euroleague with ASVEL, the Eurocup with Bourg-en-Bresse and the Playoffs in Betclic Elite this season. With his length and mobility, he ticks all the boxes for a modern winger capable of defending in virtually any position.
Zaccharie Risacher could well be called number one during the night from Wednesday to Thursday by the commissioner of the NBA Adam Silver, as his profile may interest franchises among the first choices. He would fit well into the Atlanta Hawks squad, unless the Spurs, obviously very interested in the idea of associating Risacher with Victor Wembanyama, decide on an exchange to recover the first choice of the draft and recover Zaccharie Risacher.
