A month and a half after unexpectedly winning the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery with just a 3% chance, the Hawks tonight had the opportunity to draft a player with the first overall pick for the first time in 49 years. While that player, Hall of Famer David Thompson, never played a minute for the Hawks, this time things will seemingly be different.
Zaccharie Risacher (REE-sah-shay), a 6-foot-10 (with shoes) small forward out of France who last played for Bourg-en-Bresse out of the LNB Élite (the top professional league in France), heard his name called by the Atlanta Hawks tonight.
