Zaccharie Risacher · As the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Zaccharie Risacher entered the league with high expectations. He delivered a solid rookie season for the Atlanta Hawks, starting 73 of 75 games and averaging 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. Risacher's shooting efficiency was notable, with a field goal percentage of 45.8% and a three-point percentage of 35.5%. His performance earned him Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors in both February and March 2025. A highlight of his season was a career-high 38-point game against the Brooklyn Nets on April 10, where he shot 15-of-20 from the field, including 6-of-11 from three-point range. This achievement placed him among an elite group of No. 1 picks—Allen Iverson, LeBron James, and Anthony Edwards—as the only rookies to record multiple games with at least 35 points and five three-pointers. Risacher's consistent contributions helped the Hawks secure a spot in the play-in tournament, marking a promising start to his NBA career. · State of Mint
