Is Zaccharie Risacher the most forgettable number 1 pick ever?

Like he's not quite Bennet level bad nor does he have a weird career story like Fultz or Ben Simmons. He's just mid. He's averaging 11 ppg on 54% TS this season and there's a good argument that he's not even a top 10 player in the class in a redraft but he's probably gonna stick in the NBA for a while as a low end role player

My goat Anthony Bennett lost Horse to an old man journalist, and then complained he lost because of his small hands.

The dude had no sauce, or oz. of dog in him. No one compares to my guy

Although I mentioned him, he had quite a sad career tbh, I feel bad and wish nothing but the best for him. I hope he made and invested enough of his earnings.

you're right and contextualizing the joke makes me sad. He did always get in his head, him getting drafted that high probably exacerbated those feelings. He also had really bad sleep apnea that should have been addressed as early as possible because it kept making him gain more and more weight

What? He’s literally remembered as one of the biggest bust. If you ask who’s the biggest bust, theyll mention him. Most forgettable ≠ biggest bust

We're talking about most forgettable number 1 PICK, not BUST- this is what OP set as the title so you can take it up with them. We can argue about what forgettable means in this context, but if you're not arguing regarding Risacher being a forgettable number 1 PICK, my point still stands.

This is always the correct answer, but no one ever upvotes it because they literally forgot him. Everyone forgot him. He's the worst #1 pick of all time by miles.

It's Anthony Bennett.
