[Lauren Williams] Hawks Summer League coach Ronald Nored said the plan for Zacch Risacher is to play all Summer League.
”Again, we're about development and so the best way to develop his play, so I like what he's done so far, and we've got the Lakers tomorrow, so we'll see how he does tomorrow.”
Think that’s a good decision, more game time isn’t a bad thing when he has to adjust to the differences between FIBA regulations and NBA rules. Getting reps against people you don’t see every day is definitely a good thing for his defensive development

I think Zacch should be playing all summer league for reps. He’s shown a lot of good things but it’s not like he’s been dominating.

Okay but can they pass him the damn ball please?

They gave him a set number of shot attempts for SL before he got pulled, and after two games they realized he’s not even going to graze it.
Nah, i’m bullshitting. Believable though, right?

Good for me, I’ll be in Vegas this Friday and planned on catching the game.

Ugh the Lakers… do we pull a classic Hawks and let a future journeyman in Bronny go off on us or do we hold him down?
Sucks that we haven’t had Kobe to get Risacher the ball but you can see how good he’s gonna fit in our system. Daniels Risacher and JJ that’s such a nightmare for other teams to score on!

I like this for him because with Kobe and Nikola out, this forces Risacher to get out of his comfort zone some with the ball (+ more touches), and we all know how growth is achieved: by expanding and developing skills beyond the bounds of your role.
