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

  12D ago • 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.

• Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Solid output in win

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Risacher totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 victory over the Hornets. Risacher scored in double figures for the third time in as many games, and he also contributed on the defensive end. The 19-year-old was hitting 39.8 percent of his tries from the field through his first 11 appearances of the month, but he's come alive of late, knocking down 20 of 40 attempts over his last five appearances. Risacher appears to be figuring out how to consistently produce after struggling at times through the first month of his NBA career.

• Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Only four points in loss

  11/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Risacher notched four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 136-122 loss to the Bulls. Risacher started again but managed just 16 minutes. After a couple of breakout performances, the rookie has settled into a somewhat steady role. However, he has played fewer than 20 minutes in two straight games, in line with what he was doing to start the season. Now that the team is relatively healthy, it will be interesting to see whether Risacher sticks in the starting lineup or moves back to the bench, making way for De'Andre Hunter.

• Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Explodes for career-high 33 points

  11/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Risacher contributed 33 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-9 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 victory over the Knicks. Risacher endured a shooting slump in the early stages of the season but has been playing better of late, and he's been improving with each passing game. Things seem to have clicked for him since the start of November, and he has scored in double digits in three straight games. This 33-point output represents a career-best mark for him, and although he's not likely to hover around the 20-point mark in most games, his arrow is certainly trending in the right direction.

  Risacher accumulated 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Wizards. Risacher enjoyed the best game of his young career Wednesday despite struggling with his outside shot. The 2024 No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft has started in his last three contests, averaging 11.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.3 minutes over that span. While Risacher is posting 35.4/23.8/58.3 shooting splits on the season, his defensive prowess is encouraging.
