On the other side of the ball was fellow rookie Jared McCain who posted 11 points, four rebounds and one steal on the night.

Risacher’s preseason is off to a strong start, highlighted by his performance in the team’s last game against the Indiana Pacers, where he posted 18 points, three rebounds and two assists while shooting 7-for-9 from the field in the victory.

The 19-year-old from Spain joined the Hawks after their 36-46 finish last season, which resulted in a failure to make the playoffs.

With the addition of the 6’9″ power forward following the loss of John Collins in 2023, Risacher is making a tough case for the starting position and fans appear to be fully behind him.

Zaccharie Risacher looks so much better than he did in Summer League.

I think some of the Euro guys come over and have to jump right in and are tired at Summer League. Some time off and time to adjust to the NBA does them well. Risacher looks pretty good so far this preseason.

AKelly @andlankell

So far preseason has brought in focus that the 6’9 forward duo of Jalen Johnson and Zacc Risacher is pretty compelling. Height skill are the two most important traits in bball.

Trent @TrentC_95

Good reminder to everyone submit your Risacher apology form before it is too late. https://t.co/UxbiWjenFk

Wilder Adams @whatsontapnba

Risacher looks like a mix of MPJ and Deni right now, which is a flipping awesome complimentary star

Risacher and the Hawks continue their preseason on Wednesday against the Miami Heat.
