2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

Across 3 seasons, 82 professional games, ~1500 minutes and 190 3PA, he's shooting 47.6% from the floor and 40.7% from 3. I'm not overly concerned about his efficiency/3 point ability.

He does need to get better from the foul line, and get to the foul line more.

Risacher? According to RealGM he is 179/488 from 3 for 37% since the 2020/2021 season.
 
Risacher might just be the oddity who is a poor FT shooter but a good 3pt shooter. The FT shooting is consistently around 70% though, which is very odd for anyone remotely considered a shooter.

This is very simple back of napkin type of "analysis" and I probably messed up counting....but there are 68 qualified players who make more than 2.5 3FG's per36 minutes.

48/68 shoot greater than 80% from the line
60/68 shoot greater than 75% from the line

Many of those 8 players seem to have outlier/low volume FT season. Of those 8 players that shoot less than 75%, only Fox and Duop Reath (who shot 80% prior to NBA) have a career less than 75%.

It sounds as though the Pelicans are opting to allow the Lakers to keep their late lottery pick this year in favor of swapping picks next year. It makes sense, since next year's draft is better and the Lakers are likely to be worse next year.

I get more skeptical on Risacher as the slump goes on, but maybe we are getting a little too harsh on him. He doesn't feel like a number one or top 3 prospect....but he's 19 and in about 1000 minutes this season his production has been pretty good.

19/6/2 per40 on 58% TS. Decent stocks. Gotta respect that kind of production at his level of competition.

I understand he's in a slump but... he's still shooting 39% from 3 it seems? For some reason I was left with the impression that his season stats are much lower. Why are we taking about the small sample size(the slump... or the hot streak?), and not the bigger sample? I.e. his season and career?

The numbers I see above(thanks to @bigmike are much more positive than I thought with him?! Now I'm looking through his numbers with the national team - again... small sample(57 3p shots total) but even there he's at 37%. Again... his FT% has been around 69-70 for a while... not the greatest indicator... but maybe there is a chance he's actually going to develop a shot?
 
I've watched more Risacher lately and he's smaller than my mind he remembered and much better defensively on the perimeter than I remembered. More of a wing than he gets credit for.

Given that, I would think he's a good fit for the Jazz.
