Risacher noticed the difference early. “Back in France I was super athletic, and now I’m just a regular dude,” Risacher said of his adjustment when I asked him in training camp.

More on this storyline
After dealing Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans this offseason, the Hawks do not have a defined backup point guard. Since the Hawks have several players who can handle the ball, who can pass and who can shoot, that role could fall to at least three or four players. “Trae, the way that he plays and what he does for our team, is unique,” Hawks coach Quin Snyder said Saturday. “So, I don’t look at it as a positional thing where (we) talk about backup this. It’s the same way you look at a wing. Dyson (Daniels) is not Hunt’s (De’Andre Hunter) backup, Zacch’s (Zaccharie Risacher) not Dyson’s backup. Bogi’s (Bogdan Bogdanovic) not Zacch’s backup. Like you have players, and the most important thing is (how) the team functions. And that means, when I say functions, it’s successful.” -via Atlanta Journal-Constitution / October 19, 2024
Kevin Chouinard: When I asked Jalen Johnson about Zaccharie Risacher today, he instantly started smiling and kept smiling through the whole response. Like he’d found a $50 bill on the sidewalk. “Zacch has been great as we all expected,” gesturing to the players and staff in the gym. -via x.com / October 11, 2024
Risacher was still finishing his media duties when he got a call from teammate Trae Young, who told him he had to pick up Chick-Fil-A for everyone. The request came as a bit of a shock for the 19-year-old, but with some help from second-year forward, Mo Gueye, he completed his first rookie task. “So (Mo) had me right,” Risacher said. “He made a list of what everybody likes. … I just had to call and pick up Chick-fil-A and bring everything to the bus. So that was smooth. And I hope everybody enjoyed. “Like they told me, that’s gonna be like during the whole year, (and) some stuff like that. But they’re great guys. So it’s totally fine to do it. And, I never did something like this in my career. So it’s fun. But I think it’s gonna be better, and I’m gonna get used to it. But the first time I was like, super stressful.” -via Atlanta Journal-Constitution / October 8, 2024
