in the NBA Draft, but there is still not a true sense of which player they are favoring toward selecting. There does seem to be aThe player who probably does have the most momentum in terms of being discussed with the No. 1 pick is French wing Zaccharie Risacher. Risacher has been mocked to the Hawks with the No. 1 pick in the last two mock drafts from ESPN and Bleacher Report and it does appear that the Hawks are fans of Risacher.
That hypothetical floor for Risacher is interesting too. Trey Murphy III has developed into a really good player for the New Orleans Pelicans and he is a very good defender and a sniper from three. The debate would be if he turns out to be just like Murphy, is he worth the No. 1 overall pick? I would argue no. Murphy is a really good player but is likely only the third or fourth-best player on a championship team.
Trading this pick for more immediate contributors or moving down to take multiple swings in this relatively flat lottery class are options. Take for example a scenario in which San Antonio would trade the No. 4 and No. 8 selections for the right to move up and draft Risacher. Here is what Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman had to say last week about the possibility of Risacher going No.1 to Atlanta:
