It’s a small earthquake in the middle of French training. As a confirmation that the Parker clan would never have wanted to receive, but which will soon have to be answered by certain measures: Zaccharie Risacher, 18, position 4 of 2m04 and potential Top 3 of the 2024 NBA Draft, will leave ASVEL for the JL Bourg.
The information comes to us from Gabriel Pantel-Jouveeditor-in-chief of the media BeBasket : « Zaccharie Risacher will leave ASVEL a year before his Draft in NBA. Unsatisfied with his collaboration with coach TJ Parker, he will join the neighboring club of JL Bourg.. Scenes of jubilation in the department of Ain, which is preparing to welcome the greatest NBA prospect in its history, screened in 3rd place in ESPN’s Mock 2024. Grand.
Let’s go back a bit, to April 2, when Tony Parker gave an interview to the Progress.
“Next season, the most important thing is Zaccharie Risacher. It will be at the heart of our strategy. We will build the team around him, Nando and Joffrey. Zaccharie must explode. He is projected Top 3 in the draft. Why shouldn’t he be number 1? He has all the talent in the world and we are really going to push him. That’s why we accepted the G League’s offer to do an American tour next summer and expose it as much as possible. »
Ah! Change of program that will do the job. All French basketball ranks behind Tony Parker to ensure the deprogramming phone call to the G League. “Yes hello the G League? Yes yes, we can maintain the match eh, but the only concern is that Risacher is no longer here, but don’t panic we’ve got Amine Noua “. Yeah, it’s still a bit annoying that the protagonist around whom the narration was to be written, is leaving for the second club in the region. Club which – moreover – does not compete in the Euroleague! But this detail is no longer a criterion: we saw it last season at the same time with the departure of Victor Wembanyama for Boulogne-Levallois. Without the European Cup, the future player of the San Antonio Spurs was able to become the major asset of the 2nd team of Betclic Élite… and even of the championship. Next season, Zaccharie Risacher will still play the EuroCup with Bourg, who is – more or less – the second most prestigious European competition. It’s good. It is experience.
T.J. Parker ? He did not have the ASVEL public with him, this “transfer” will probably seal the irreversible. Good luck reversing the trend: losing Victor Wembanyama and Zaccharie Risacher in the space of a year, we will do the accounts in several years, but it looks like a big mistake.
Like Victor Wembanyama in 2022, Zaccharie Risacher will leave ASVEL a year before his Draft in #NBA. Unsatisfied with his collaboration with coach TJ Parker, he will join the neighboring club of JL Bourg. #BetclicELITE
