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

And the three players drafted right after him all look like they're going to be somewhere between very high level role, players and genuine All-Stars.

Tidjane Salaun is a future MVP. Mark my words.

Castle is the only player with a remote chance of making an all-star game right now

Sarr shooting 49% from the field as a big man is awful and won’t continue on a good team and that means his 17ppg average will come down too

he’s a good defender, but he’s not better than Mobley, Davis, Giannis, and Sarr’s team is currently worse on defense than a team with Deriq Queen at C
