G Zaccharie Risacher, JL Bourg (France)
6-8.5 | 210 pounds | 8-11 standing reach | April 2005
2023-24 Stats: 32 games. 22.0 minutes. 10.1 points. 3.8 rebounds. 0.9 assists. 0.8 steals. 0.5 blocks. 43.9% FG. 35.2% 3P. 74.0% FT.
Zaccharie Risacher grew up playing in France. He was not ranked by any of the four major scouting services.
On3 Scouting Report as an NBA Draft Prospect: “While Zach Risacher might not have the highest ceiling, there is a floor to his game that provides familiarity. The 6-foot-8 skilled wing has range, solid athleticism, and defensive instincts that are very attractive at his position. While the self-creation lacks, along with the blow by speed, the three-and-D nature of his game leads to a valuable archetype. He also exploded toward the end of his season, with perfect timing, in a 28-point Ligue Nationalae de Basket playoff output.”
2. Washington Wizards
