Aye @benhillboy, would it hurt the credibility of my anti-analytic stance if I gave this post a 'like'? 

Hey, there's no critic like a hypocrytic...

I will repeat what I said about Risacher...without even going back to my posts to review my notes...lol  First and foremost, don't get it twisted.  There are some who actively campaigned against him and didn't like his game.  I never disliked Risacher.  I bought into the "weak draft" narrative and had him in a mixed-bag draft with Sheppard, Sarr, Knect as the guys I liked.  I saw a decent prospect that was tall and could shoot, but most importantly, after his SL debut...I felt like he was undersold. Curiously so...  I said it after that game and I will say it again - he is better than advertised. Like [tinfoilhat]maybe the scouts were intentionally trying to get him to fall[/tinfoilhat].

That said, I see the vision.  I see the fit, which I think is more important than anything.  If he can really shoot and defend, he is just as valuable as a big that can shoot and score down low (what I saw and still see in Sarr).

He was heavily scouted by SAS.  Remember the rumors of our #1 for #4 and #8 with SAS wanting Zacc or Sarr OR SAS ok taking Zacc at 4 if he fell since Hawks were zeroing on Clingan or Sheppard? Lots of rumors and smoke screens.

I'm glad he has the ability to process quickly and not have to put the ball on the floor to be effective. He's not a guy that can break down his man off the dribble... yet. To be fair, his handle is still a little suspect and he can quickly get himself into trouble if he overhandles the ball. I totally trust him handling it on the break, but not against a set defense.

That move at ~0:34 looks so polished for a rookie

He had a lot of impressive plays but that was my favorite. Dribble drive, counter, counter, tough finish with the off hand. Looked fluid and easy. 

Also, loved how effective he was with minimal dribbles. Very Klay-esque. That's exactly what we need next to Trae.

Zacc is still growing!  He's not even there yet. Last night someone said he had added about 20 pounds since the draft.  It was needed.  M. Gueye should add some too!

Hawk's growing boys!!

[TheFuzz]

Loving this kid so far. His jumper will determine just how good he is but his off ball skill level is extremely impressive at his age
