The pick is in and Zaccharie Risacher is the first name called in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Atlanta Hawks have selected the Spanish-born 19-year-old as the No.1 pick in the draft on Wednesday night. Risacher spent last season overseas with the Mincidelice JL Bourg of Betclic Élite in France.
The 6-9 forward averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists last season on 44% shooting from the field and 35% from deep.
Risacher is the second straight international player to be selected first overall after the Spurs used its top pick on Victor Wembanyama a year ago. The Hawks’ selection on Wednesday marks the fourth ever international pick to be picked first.
