Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports The Atlanta Hawks selected forward Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft on Wednesday night.
Risacher comes out of France, where he most recently played for JL Bourg-en-Bresse of LNB Elite, the country's premier division of professional basketball.
In 32 games last season, Risacher averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists for JL Bourg. The 19-year-old is 6-foot-9 and weighed in at 195 pounds at the draft combine back in May.
Atlanta does not own another pick in this year's draft, which has been split into two days. Wednesday's first round is being held at Barclays Center in New York. ESPN's Seaport District Studios -- also in New York -- will host the second round.
The Washington Wizards will be on the clock next.
