Zaccharie Risacher, son of Stéphane, became number 1 in the Draft and has a particular story in which he coincided with Pepe Sánchez.
On April 8, 2005, this player who was in the eyes of the basketball world last night was born in Malaga, where his father was playing for Unicaja.
There, in the team that won a Copa del Rey and a League title, he was part of, among others, the point guard from Bahía Blanca.

Zaccharie lived there for three years, until his father emigrated to Murcia, and then landed in France, more specifically in Lyon.
The truth is that Risacher was chosen by the Atlanta Hawks and, as happened in 2023, a Frenchman took the first position.
He is a tall forward, 2m06 and thin. He comes from playing at a high level at JL Bourg, being the second player with the most minutes per game (22), playing 32 games.
In the regular season he averaged 10.1 points and 3.8 rebounds; in the playoffs he improved his numbers to 15.1 points and 7.4 rebounds.
He is a good scorer and shooter, although he was not one of his team’s first offensive options. Physically, he is not a particularly strong or athletic player, something that needs to be improved in order to be able to mix among the best in the NBA.
