The Atlanta Hawks started the 2024 Draft by picking French star Zaccharie Risacher as the first overall pick in this draft. It’s a huge achievement for the French star that he shared in an interview after his draft pick.
“It’s a blessing, you know. So exciting. There are a lot of feelings and emotions right now. I don’t know what to say, but it’s definitely special. I’m so blessed,” he said.
Risacher had an impressive season with JL Bourg, capturing the attention of the Hawks during his workout with the team. Although Alex Sarr was initially speculated to be the top pick, Risacher’s performance and potential swayed the Hawks’ decision.
