19-year-old winger Zaccharie Risacher officially presented himself for the next NBA draft this Monday, in which he is projected by many specialized media as potential number one, only one year after Victor Wembanyama.

One year after Victor Wembanyama's draft, another Frenchman could be called first on June 26 during the NBA's annual high mass.

Zaccharie Risacher, 19 years old and winger from Bourg-en-Bresse, officially presented himself for the next NBA draft this Monday, as announced by the American media ESPN .

Elected best young person of the Eurocup

After a full season at Bourg, an unfortunate finalist in the Eurocup, in which he was still voted best young player in the competition, the young winger made the choice to fly to the big league, after two seasons in France.

This season, in Europe, his statistics have been impressive with more than 11 points scored on 50% shooting and 45% three-point shooting.

"It's always been my dream to join the best league in the world"

He said he is ready to contribute to any team thanks to "his shooting, his defense and his versatility& quot;. In a vintage considered relatively weak by observers, the winger quickly found himself among the first choices, accompanied by his compatriot Alexandre Sarr, who is playing this year in the NBL (Australia and New Zealand). "It's always been my dream to join the best league in the world" he explained to ESPN.
