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.

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.
