MADRID, 27 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –

French forward Zaccharie Risacher was chosen this Wednesday by the Atlanta Hawks as number one in the NBA draft, while another player from the same country, center Alex Sarr, was number two destined for the Washington Wizards.

Risacher, 2.07 meters tall and whose father Stephane played in Spanish basketball, at Unicaja, and won Olympic silver in Sydney 2000, will land in the American league after playing this recently completed season at JL Bourg.

For his part, Sarr, 2.16 m tall and who came through the Real Madrid youth academy, was in Australian basketball this year and confirmed with his second place the great moment at the level of young talent in France that last year had the number one with Victor Wembanyama.

Furthermore, in a draft that only served for the first round elections, since the second round, in which Spanish point guard Juan Núñez aspires to be, will be this Thursday, the ‘Top 5’ was completed by point guard Reed Shepard ( Houston Rockets), guard Stephon Castle (San Antonio Spurs) and power forward Ron Holland (Detroit Pistons).
