That's it, Zaccharie Risacher exploded and achieved a number 1 performance in the Draft. This is already a great reason to be happy, but he is not the only Frenchman to have distinguished himself last night on the NBA floors. Send the recap!
The results of the night
Tidjane Salaün
Complicated night for the crack Cholet. Often available in attack, the winger sometimes seems forgotten by his teammates. Only one shot attempted in 12 minutes against the Pistons and yet the attempt failed. 3 points and 1 rebound… it goes from there.
Moussa Diabaté
Since the start of the season, the French pivot has been making the most of his (too) few minutes on the court. Last night, he was the author of 4 points and 5 rebounds in 7 minutes! Imagine if he played 36…
Zaccharie Risacher
A master class! The number 1 of the Draft closed many cackles by achieving, perhaps, the best performance of a rookie this season in the NBA. 33 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 interceptions and 2 blocks at 11/18 shooting and 6/10 from distance. There are mornings that are more beautiful than others and thanks to Zacch' this Thursday is one of them.
No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher had it ROLLING in the @ATLHawks win!

Pacôme Dadiet
He was Tom Thibodeauthized!
Armel Traore
He was Pacôme Dadietized!
Victor Wembanyama
The Alien's performances against the Houston Rockets follow and are similar. He always struggles against the excellent Texan game plan built around Dillon Brooks constantly on his back. 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks… the good news is that Wemby will only meet Houston once again this season.

Sidy Cissoko
You take Moussa Diabaté's paragraph and copy and paste it (removing the word pivot). The other French Spurs showed up with 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 2/3 shooting in 8 minutes.
Ousmane Dieng
The winger has nothing to reproach himself for despite the Oklahoma City Thunder's first defeat of the season. In 10 minutes on the court, he compiled 6 points and 4 rebounds at 100% shooting. Mark Daigneault continues to keep him in the rotation and that's excellent (and logical) news.
Nicolas Batum
We are tired of writing that Nicolas Batum did Nicolas Batum… but Nicolas Batum did Nicolas Batum. 20 minutes of play with 7 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and great defense… if that's not Nicolas Batum…
Guerschon Yabusele
More discreet meeting than his last outings, but the interim pivot of the Philadelphia Sixers remains rather effective. 4 points, 1 rebound, 2/3 shooting in 10 minutes… we just wonder where this drop in playing time comes from.
Next night's program
- 2h : Bulls – Wolves (Rudy Gobert)
- 2h : Bucks – Jazz
- 2h : Spurs – Blazers (Victor Wembanyama, Sidy Cissoko et Rayan Rupert)
