ZACCHARIE RISACHEER WITH THE POSTER. 🔥🔥
Sources: Butler is hiring Atlanta Hawks assistant Ronald Nored as its next head coach.
The awakening of “Playoff Z”. Atlanta Hawks former #1 overall Zaccharie Risacher has been on a tear over his last three games with the Atlanta Hawks (as of March 24, 2026), averaging 14.7 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 0.7 APG, 1.3 SPG, and 1.0 BPG in 22.8 MPG while shooting 68.2% FG (15-for-22), 70.0% from three (7-for-10), and 87.5% FT. Last night on March 23 vs. MEM (W), he posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3PT), 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in 26 minutes; on March 21 vs. GSW (W), 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3PT), 4-5 FT in 23 minutes; and on March 20 @ HOU (L), 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3PT), 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in 19 minutes. Since January 1, 2026, his three-point shooting has climbed to 42.6% (on solid volume), well above his season mark of 37.3%, reflecting a clear upward trend in perimeter efficiency and rebounding rate (now 12.4% in March, up sharply from earlier months) after his mid-season benching, which has unlocked higher-impact playmaking and defensive versatility off the bench without starter minutes. Playoff Z has arrived just in time for Atlanta to make a deep playoff run. #TrueToAtlanta

I defend Alex more than most, but not acquiring a starter this offseason was malpractice
9-0 run from the Warriors late in Q1, aided by back-to-back turnovers from Landale that both led to fast break buckets. Hawks defense has been pretty dreadful as well.
an updated look at how the Hawks players rank this season, according to their EPM 👀
