The pick is in, and it’s Zaccharie Risacher going to Atlanta.
The past six MVP awards in the NBA have been given to international players, and several new potential stars born outside the United States were gobbled up to start the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft Wednesday night at Barclays Center.
Either one of them going No.1 — after wunderkind big man Victor Wembanyama went first to the Spurs one year ago — would have made history. It joins only Canada as the only foreign countries to do so.Nikola Jokic Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid have accounted for the last half-dozen MVP trophies, and it’s not difficult to envision Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Wembanyama — the unanimous 2024 Rookie of the Year — joining them in the coming years.
In addition to Risacher and Sarr, forward Matas Buzelis and guard Nikola Topic also were projected top-10 picks.
