The pressure of being the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft never goes away. I understand that. But if Hawks fans can view Zaccharie Risacher as another young, promising prospect, instead of expecting him to save the franchise, then watching him grow will become less anxiety-inducing and more fun. And fun is better, if you ask me. The next development for Risacher? Continued growth with the ball in his hands.
Risacher wasn't asked to create much offense last year — as is common among 19 year-old rookies. He was assisted on over 73% of his two-point attempts and over 97% of his three-point attempts.
