Zaccharie Risacher made headlines this offseason after being seen training former College Park SkyHawks coach and current Hawks Assistant Coach Ryan Schmidt. The most notable part of the leaks was Risacher’s noticeable weight gain.
He’s added at least 10-15 pounds of muscle to his frame. This is a very encouraging development after witnessing the trials and tribulations of his first season in the NBA.
The 19-year-old made headlines last year when he said, “Back in France, I was super athletic, now I’m just a regular dude.”
The rise in physicality was a rude awakening but was essential for his growth.
