Zaccharie Risacher scouting report

Height: 6-10

Weight: 210

DOB: 4/8/2005

Risacher is seen as a high-lottery pick with an intriguing mix of size, length, and shooting skills. The 19-year-old Frenchman has turned into a reliable shooter this season, hitting nearly 39% of his three-pointers and over 46% of his overall shots. He's a solid rebounder and has good defensive range, though he's mostly a catch-and-shoot guy right now and doesn't create much off the dribble. He's averaging less than one assist per game for JL Bourg in France, so playmaking is something he needs to work on.

Standing at 6-foot-8 with a long wingspan, Risacher has the ideal size for an NBA wing. Shooting is his standout skill, and he made a big jump in efficiency this season after shooting around 30% from three last year. He's an average free-throw shooter at 71.6%, so he'll need to prove his improved shooting is legit at the NBA level. Adding weight to his 200-pound frame is also important for his development.

Risacher would benefit from joining a team willing to be patient with his growth. He might not make a huge impact in his first year, but his shooting and decision-making could make him a valuable rotation player in the future. While not a complete "project" player, he needs to develop his body, ballhandling, and defensive awareness. Though he's not an elite athlete, he moves well laterally and should be able to play both forward positions in the NBA. Right now, he looks more like a long-term role player rather than a top option on a contending team, but that doesn't limit his potential. Comparisons to players like Michael Porter Jr., Cameron Johnson, and Kelly Oubre give a good sense of his size and skill set.
