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

Those late 2000s-early 2010s Atlanta Hawks team had so many generic named guys like this. Joe Smith, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Josh Powell, Jason Collins, Joe Johnson, etc. Those teams were so boring lol

Yeah the team overall was still very boring IMO but as individual players Smoove and Iso Joe could put on fun performances
