Zaccharie Risacher has lost something that will be nearly impossible to get back

Zaccharie Risacher has lost the belief of Hawks fans. That's never what you want from a premier draft pick, of course, but fans are volatile. They can be won back. Worse for Risacher, though, is that he appears to have lost the belief of the Hawks organization, too. That's a much tougher thing to reacquire once its gone.

In February, Risacher shot 34.1 percent from the field, averaging 7.1 points per game while shooting 8.2 shots. That's startlingly poor efficiency, and the eye test isn't doing him any favors, either. He also played just 23 minutes per game, and feels less important to the Hawks' equation than ever before.
