Take our first grade of the exercise with a pretty hefty grain of salt.
Zaccharie Risacher only played in two games, and Nikola Đurišić broke his foot just over six minutes into his second appearance.
But in the very limited action we saw from these two, you could understand why the Atlanta Hawks took Risacher first overall and made a trade to land Đurišić
The former’s combination of length and outside shooting was on display in his first appearance, when he had 18 points and hit three threes.
A smooth, high-volume shooter with a power forward’s frame can do wonders for an offense, and it looks like there’s room for Risacher to grow as a playmaker, too.
He shot the ball much worse in his second game, finishing the summer league 11-of-28 from the field and 4-of-16 from three, but you can see the vision.
As for Đurišić, he only took seven shots in Vegas before going down, but Atlanta had him operating as the lead playmaker for much of his possessions, which is pretty interesting for a 6’7″ wing.
In the tradition of other Serbian NBA players, Đurišić looked like a solid, pass-first player who sees the floor well and has a good feel for the game.
