Zaccharie Risacher reminds Hawks fans who he is after slow start to the season

It has been an unpredictable start to the season for the Atlanta Hawks. From injuries, to illnesses, to inconsistent play from their most reliable players, a 5-5 record through the first ten games of the season seems fair.

Zaccharie Risacher, last year's first overall pick, was in the midst of an early-season sophomore slump. Coming into the first of three incredible performances, the 20-year-old forward was averaging 9.4 points per game, a significant drop off from last year. His efficiency was also down, with splits of 42.2% from the floor and 31.6% from deep.

On Tuesday night, the Hawks took on the dangerous Orlando Magic at home.
