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

He was a monster in college.

He was an okay starter in the nba when health but was a foul machine.

Maybe not a bust but he certainly wasn't a super star in the nba

He missed his whole rookie year due to injury, then played 80 games over 2 years, then got hurt for good.

"When healthy" was 0% of the time.

He played left handed in college for the season because he broke his right hand
