The first “highlight” clip is him getting a loose ball and subsequently being destroyed by the rim on a dunk attempt and falling down.  Smh

Does that remind you of another around here in the past. If he whacks and walks and gets blocked by the rim he must be starvin Marvin Risacher II.

anywhere near him for the first pick.

10th on my board, possibly lower. I loathe him.

Yes it does Spud.  I think you are spot on with your comparison.  The pick has to be Sarr IMO.  Risacher is a no go do not draft .  Clingan is a hard sell for me too due to looking like this:

I can’t spell the superstar’s name for the team I’m covering.

Some people have asked me about Murray to San Antonio. It's highly unlikely. Atlanta wanted Devin Vassell. San Antonio isn't trading Vassell. So that's unlikely to happen.

Heh, honestly that's pretty unacceptable. 

It's no different than, if he was Victor Smith, calling him Victor Smyth.  Get the man's name right.  If he broke a story, he'd be insulted if they called it a Gorza-bomb.

New BR mock has us taking Harrison Zacharrie Risacher Barnes II 

 

 

 

1. Atlanta Hawks: Zaccharie Risacher

1 OF 58

June 7 Mock Draft Spot: No. 1

Team: JL Bourg-en-Bresse

Position: SG/SF

Size: 6'8", 204 lbs

Age/Year: 19

Nationality: French

Pro Comparison: Harrison Barnes

Rival teams continue to guess who the Atlanta Hawks prefer at No. 1. And we continue to give the edge to Zaccharie Risacher, a perceived safe pick with a valued archetype and pathways to improve and bust through the three-and-D level that he brings to JL Bourg.

While scouts continue to debate the height of Risacher's ceiling, there is a perceived level of certainty tied to his positional size, shooting and defensive tools/quickness. That could sway the Hawks to lean his way without a sure-thing star at the top. Injury problems with Saddiq Bey and AJ Griffin could also help the case for Risacher to Atlanta.

 

 

I know some of ya'll gonna be extremely mad but Risacher is the top player on our board. It's unlikely we stay at 1 considering the offers are really good but he's our top guy

Good because he is only guy I want … I don’t want to settle for Keldon Johnson

What you think about him Supes? Why is he so high on people's boards compared to the defensive unicorn in Sarr?

[cam1218]

For the record, I’m an idiot who has not canceled my ESPN+ account. I’ve seen Risacher mocked first many times when they update it. Clinigan has also been mentioned as a good fit for us. 

Not that they are experts, but I’m just saying I’ve seen Sarr drop more than some others have.

I mentioned that fact and his poor vert in a previous post.  I want an athletic freak who can jump out of the gym, has Kahwi (or Freddy Kruger) hands, and eats/sleeps/breathes basketball who is also a team player.

maybe not completely realistic but I think Sarr is as close as it gets in this draft.
