The French talent is poised to join Kwame Brown and Anthony Bennett as another No. 1 overall pick over the last 50 years to score 750 points or fewer in their second NBA season.
It has been a rough sophomore season for Zaccharie Risacher.
Atlanta Hawks / Schedule
The top overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, Risacher has taken a step backward statistically and performance-wise compared to his rookie campaign from last year.
This season, Risacher is averaging 10.4 points and 44.4 percent shooting in 24.3 minutes of play across 44 games.
After enduring a rough slump over the past couple of games, he was demoted by head coach Quin Snyder in the Atlanta Hawks' 115-104 Sunday victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Veteran guard C.J. McCollum replaced him in the team's starting lineup.
If Risacher's offensive struggles continue, he is poised to join two notable No. 1 pick busts in a brutal statistical record.
Atlanta can only hope for the best for Risacher's future despite the challenging experience he's enduring thus far in his second year in the Association.
