Note: In contrast to what has been said in the video, Zaccarie Risacher was loaned to a Frech team named JL Bourg and played in the Euro Cup, not the Euroleague. There is a difference in the level of competition between the two.
Hi, nice video However I strongly disagree that no guy in this draft would have been taken better than 6 last year. There is no way Sarr would have been picked after the twins, who like other players in this draft not named Sarr have an obvious hole in their game. Sarr is actually already a far better shooter than them and at the C position. As for Risacher, he may have been picked by DET at 5, and at minimum at 7 by Indiana (with no trade down), Bilal is a very nice project but Risacher showed way more than him last year in the same league.
The argument could be made that Sarr is in the same tier as the twins, and Risacher is in the same tier as Bilal, Jarace Walker, etc. I could hypothetically see, for example, the Wizards going Risacher over Bilal (Risacher more pro ready, Bilal higher ceiling) but I don’t see Indiana taking Risacher over Jarace Walker based on need. They’re at the same level as prospects imo
Yeah Rashard was tough, but people are talking Risacher top 2 in the draft. Don’t you expect a really good player around that range? Plus, he doesn’t have to be as good as Rashard, but he does play similarly. He doesn’t play much like Kirilenko at all. Andrei was a below average 3 point shooter, average scorer, and elite defensive player. Risacher has much more of a scorer’s game than Kirilenko
He's the consensus #1, has elite traits, produced as a pro, and oh btw he fits the Hawks needs perfectly. That team's achilles heel has always been defense and length, DeAndre Hunter is a bust and he's been one of their worst players all year. Hawks tried and failed to get OG or Siakam from the Raptors, and he's kinda in the same mould as OG with his length and defensive ability.
@@DoTheAstralPlane Hunter has his issues but was pretty good this year actually. Definitely one of the few bright spots for the Hawks during a rough season
@@DoTheAstralPlanehe would be a disaster pick at 1 for the Hawks. Our biggest need is a true big who can space the floor and defend the paint. Sarr is far and away the best player and fit for Hawks
