“Risacher is a French version of Matas Buzelis to me,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype.
“Risacher is No. 1 for me,” an NBA scout told HoopsHype. “I like his shot-making potential, his size, he can guard one through three in the league right now, and I like his feel with the ball.”
“Some people will have Risacher at No. 1-3,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. “Everybody wants a big versatile wing that’s young and can continue to develop. People want a guy that can make some shots. He’s not a shot creator. He’s trending more towards a player you stick in the corner. I don’t think he’s a guy you can run your offense through. Overseas, they’re doing a bit of playing him off the ball and some on the ball. He’s athletic enough. His understanding of the game is relatively high. At the end of the day, I think he’ll be more of a 3-and-D caliber wing as opposed to a guy that’s going to be one of your Top 3 players going forward in the NBA for a team.”
