April 22, 2024
French basketball talent Zaccharie Risacher, age 19, has entered the 2024 NBA Draft, stirring interest in what's seen as a lackluster class.
Risacher boasts notable statistics in France's LNB Pro A, with an average of 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds per game, and a 56.1% three-point shooting rate.
Having played professionally since 2021, Risacher is tipped to be a leading figure in the draft, which will take place on June 26.
While Risacher prioritizes a team that suits his style over draft ranking, projections suggest he will be among the early selections.
Comparisons are being drawn between Risacher and basketball prodigy Victor Wembanyama, indicating high expectations for his NBA career.
