THE Frenchies in the spotlight this season in the NBA. And when it’s not Victor Wembanyama, who couldn’t prevent the rout of decimated Spurs on Wednesday in Houston with his 15 points (127-100), it’s Zaccharie Risacher who delights.
The number 1 of the last draft achieved his first major NBA performance by signing 33 points during the prestigious success of the Atlanta Hawks against the New York Knicks (121-116). For his ninth match in the League, the 19-year-old winger or fullback crushed his previous points record (17, October 30), accumulating 22 points from the break, for a total of 33 points, therefore, matched by 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. A complete and very rare performance for a “rookie”.
The young Frenchman arrived from Bourg-en-Bresse, son of ex-international Stéphane Risacher, confirmed his valuable versatility between shooting precision (11/18, including 6/10 from distance), aggressiveness near the circle, defensive ease and accuracy (0 lost balls). All over time, since he remained on the floor for 37 minutes of play, his highest total of the season. This is really encouraging.
