The NBA is in the midst of a French revolution. First, it was Victor Wembanyama. Now, it is Zaccharie Risacher. Here’s everything to know about the No. 1 draft pick.
The NBA is in the midst of a French revolution. First, it was Victor Wembanyama last year. Now, it is Zaccharie Risacher. Risacher was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft on Wednesday, making history in the process. The selection of the 19-year-old small forward means that for the first time in modern NBA Draft history, the No. 1 pick in back-to-back drafts has not played US college basketball.
Risacher has recently made his mark on the France senior national team too, making his debut earlier this year at the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers in February having already represented the country at younger categories. Now, his combination of size and athleticism – the forward is 6-foot-9 and weighs 215 pounds – will be something he hopes can translate across the Atlantic to the NBA.
