Atlanta Hawks — B 1. Zaccharie Risacher, France. With no first rounders over the next three years, having had their pockets picked by San Antonio in the Dejounte Murray heist (and yes, no trade backs), the pressure to get this pick right was high. The national perception of Risacher has largely been seen through the prism of this being a “weak” draft. While he was not regarded as a potential top pick at the start of the cycle, he did about as well as one could have expected considering his age. He is a nearly 6’10” wing who played a major role on the French League semifinalists and Eurocup runners up. On a per minute basis, Risacher had a similar pre-draft season in the Eurocup and in France as Brandon Miller had at Alabama. Unlike Miller, Risacher has no baggage, and his predraft season was when he was almost two years younger than Miller. Make no mistake, Risacher is an incredibly valuable prospect to add for a Hawks team in flux. he may be in for a cultural adjustment, but the long term upside is apparent. As is the case in the copycat NBA, many teams will try to imitate the switchable and versatile Celtics. With Risacher, the Hawks have him for the rookie deal, both Bogdan Bogdanovic and De’Andre Hunter for three more years, and are likely to extend Jalen Johnson this offseason. Fans will undeniably be interested in what happens with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, but the team has taken a major step forward in being a longer and more versatile team from the 2-4 positions. Djurisic was a highly rated prospect in his juniors but never quite realized his potential. he showed enough with his skill level in the pre-draft events to pique interest and get selected on his potential, and could make a splash if his shooting improves.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
