• Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Turns in efficient 18 points

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Risacher closed with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 24 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 victory over the Wizards. Although Risacher didn't provide much production across the board, he turned in an efficient 18 points Saturday. It's been an up-and-down rookie season for the 2024 No. 1 overall pick, but Risacher has been solid for the Hawks lately. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.1 threes in 24.0 minutes while shooting 45.5 percent from deep.

• Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Game-high 30 points in return

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Risacher dropped 30 points (11-14 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two steals, one rebound and one assist in 25 minutes during Thursday's 137-115 loss to the Cavaliers. The rookie forward showed no signs of rust in just his second game back from an adductor injury that sidelined him for seven of his last eight games. As expected, his time on the court was limited, but he produced nonetheless, putting up the second-best scoring performance of his young career and marking the first time he's logged more points than minutes played. His two steals were a nice addition to the fantasy output, but that aside he didn't contribute much in other facets of the game. With Jalen Johnson (shoulder) ruled out for the season, Risacher should be expected to carry a larger role in head coach Quin Snyder's offense going forward.

• Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Scores season-low two points

  12/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  Risacher supplied two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 victory over the Knicks. Risacher tallied a season-low two points, continuing his modest production of late. Despite being a consistent member of the starting unit, Risacher has struggled to deliver noteworthy numbers, averaging just 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per game over the past month. Although his role appears relatively safe, it's hard to see him playing more than about 25 minutes per game, barring injuries to other players.
