While he has finished his season with Bourg-en-Bresse after the elimination against Monaco, Zacharie Risacher clearly took advantage of the Betclic Elite playoffs to increase his rating, with 15 points and 7 rebounds on average at 67% on shots. Proof, ESPN has just placed him in 1st place in his mock draft, and as the Hawks' first choice. Which means that the son of Stéphane Risacher dislodges Alexandre Sarrwhich falls to 2nd place, held by the Wizards.
ESPN experts report that Zaccharie Risacher will take pre-Draft tests in Treviso, both athletic and medical tests. He will meet NBA franchise leaders there, and for ESPN, it is unlikely that he will not be in one of the first two places in the Draft! Our colleagues report possible interest from Spurs who could give up the 4th and 8th choices to get him back. It's still very expensive, but it's possible.
Tidjane Salaün in 8th position at Spurs?
Result: Alexandre Sarr falls to 2nd place, and the Wizards would also be a very good destination given the void in the racket. The versatility of the Frenchman, and his “two-way player” side would immediately allow him to be a major element of Brian Keefe's group, alongside Bilal Coulibaly.
Behind the two “Frenchies”, little development since ESPN still sees the shooter Reed Sheppard to the Rockets, if the franchise keeps its 3rd choice.
The rating of Stephon Castle is at the highest with a 4th place, held by the Spurs, whom he would like to join and who follow him closely. Finally, Matas Buzelis remains in 5th place, held by the Pistons.
As for other French people, Tidjane Salaün appears in 8th place among… the Spurs, while Pacome Dadiet is in 38th place, which belongs to the Knicks. Melvin Ajinca fall to 47th place, choice of the Magic. Obviously, we are examining the position of Bronny James, who has decided to stay in the Draft, and who must carry out trials with the Suns and the Lakers. ESPN places it in 52nd position, and it belongs to… Warriors. Interesting.
