The Atlanta Hawks had the first overall selection in the 2024 NBA Draft Wednesday night, and they selected Zaccharie Risacher, the 19-year-old Frenchman. At least one observer thinks it was a bad move. Frank Mason III, college basketball's 2017 National Player of the Year with the Kansas Jayhawks, expressed his opinion about the pick on social media after playing against Risacher, a 6-foot-8 forward, in France last year.

1 assists over 21 games last season to earn himself an All-Star Game appearance. Risacher also played in the ProA League with JL Bourg-en-Bresse, where he was 18 years old for most of his 32 games. He averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game over 22 minutes. Mason missed both games against JL Bourg-en-Bresse, which dominated SLUC Nancy, and Risacher scored 11 and 10 points in those meetings. Mason isn't alone in his skepticism about Risacher playing in the NBA.
