Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson was happy to see 2024 #1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher have a great game during last night’s 121-116 home win vs. the New York Knicks (33 points/7 rebounds/3 assists/3 steals/2 blocks/zero turnovers/11-18 FG/6-10 3-PT/5-9 FT/+14 +/-).
*Set career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, made field goals, made threes, and made free throws/tied career-best for steals, blocks, and plus-minus*
(via Atlanta Hawks):
“That’s why he’s the No. 1 pick: he showcased everything tonight. It was so fun to see him see the ball go in. It was kinda a tough stretch shooting for pretty much a lot of us, so seeing him (see) the ball go in, it was exciting. I know he’s going to continue to work hard, and he’s going to use this as a building block going forward.”
