The NBA Draft is fast approaching, and the top two picks may have already been decided. According to ESPN, most teams are expecting the Washington Wizards to select either Alex Sarr or Zaccharie Risacher with the second overall pick. The Atlanta Hawks, who hold the first pick, are likely to choose the other player, setting up a probable outcome of Sarr going to Atlanta and Risacher to Washington.
Sarr, a 19-year-old big man, is known for his physicality, defense, and potential for growth as a perimeter shooter. Many believe he has the tools to develop into a strong player with the right coaching. On the other hand, Risacher, also from France, is a versatile player with a focus on dunking and shot-making. He is seen as a quality defender and wing star with good size and skills.
With the top two picks seemingly set, all eyes will now turn to the rest of the draft order. Following the Wizards and Hawks, teams like the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Detroit Pistons will have their chance to make their selections. The Hawks’ choice for the number one pick has been a topic of speculation since they secured the top spot, but soon all will be revealed as the draft approaches. Stay tuned for more updates as the NBA Draft draws near.
