Analyzing 2024 NBA Draft’s ‘French invasion’

Rotoworld Player News

Dylan Windler

ATL Shooting Guard #20

Dylan Windler (right elbow injury) will not play in Wednesday’s game against the Lakers.

Windler, Zaccharie Risacher (quad), Kobe Bufkin (shoulder), and Nikola Djurisic (foot) are all out for Wednesday’s game. As a result, EJ Liddell, Mo Gueye, and Keaton Wallace are the only rostered (meaning regular season roster) Hawks who will be available.
Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Small Forward

Zaccharie Risacher (right quad contusion) will not play in Wednesday’s game against the Lakers.

Risacher’s injury is not severe, but his absence means both first-round picks will sit out Wednesday’s matchup. The Lakers have sidelined Dalton Knecht for rest reasons. Risacher’s injury will not linger, so there’s no need to be concerned about the rookie’s training camp availability. Whether or not he plays again this week in Las Vegas remains in the air.
Nikola Djurisic

ATL Small Forward

Atlanta announced Monday that Djurisic suffered the injury during Sunday’s Summer League game against San Antonio.

Djurisic was selected with the No. 43 pick in this year’s draft. It’s unclear how much time the rookie will miss, but it could set him back ahead of his first NBA season. He’s yet to sign a contract with the Hawks.
E.J. Liddell

ATL Power Forward #32

E.J. Liddell logged 27 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Spurs, scoring 22 points (6-of-14 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs) with five rebounds, four blocks, and two 3-pointers.

Liddell was perceived as a “throw-in” in the Dejounte Murray trade but looked like a legitimate contributor on Sunday night. While the scoring was not surprising, Liddell blocking four shots was unexpected, given the career average of 0.3 per game as a rookie. He’s a rugged forward who can be challenging to corral when allowed to get downhill off the dribble. The Hawks also acquired Larry Nance Jr. in the Murray trade, but there could be minutes behind Jalen Johnson at power forward, especially if Nance or Clint Capela were to be moved before the season begins. If so, Liddell’s chances of earning rotation minutes will increase.
Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Small Forward

Zaccharie Risacher played 30 minutes in Sunday’s 79-76 loss to the Spurs, tallying 11 points (4-of-12 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one block, and one 3-pointer.

After scoring a relatively efficient 18 points in his summer league debut on Friday, Risacher did not shoot the ball as well on Sunday. The rookie wing was 1-of-7 from beyond the arc and struggled at the foul line. However, there were positives. Risacher displayed a solid basketball IQ, which is no surprise given his playmaking abilities with JL Bourg in France. He does need to get stronger, but that will happen as the 19-year-old’s body fills out.
Nikola Djurisic

ATL Small Forward

Nikola Djurisic (left foot injury) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Spurs.

Djurisic played a little less than seven minutes before limping to the locker room and has since been ruled out for the remainder of the night. With this only being summer league, it would be unsurprising if the Hawks decided to shut him down for the rest of the event, regardless of the severity of the injury.
Keaton Wallace

ATL Shooting Guard #22

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks have signed Keaton Wallace to a two-way contract.

Wallace, who spent one week on a two-way contract with the Clippers during the 2022-23 season, has earned another opportunity, this time with the Hawks. The undrafted guard out of UTSA played well in Atlanta’s summer league opener against the Wizards, and reports of his signing emerged shortly after the game’s conclusion. With Kobe Bufkin ruled out after suffering a right shoulder injury, Wallace will have ample opportunities to show what he can do.
Kobe Bufkin

ATL Point Guard #4

Kobe Bufkin (right shoulder injury) has been ruled out for the NBA 2K25 Summer League in Las Vegas.

According to the Hawks, Bufkin injured his shoulder during practice on Tuesday. Found to have symptoms “consistent with a right shoulder subluxation,” the 2023 first-round pick will not play in Las Vegas but is expected to be fully healthy in time for training camp. With the Hawks trading Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans, more minutes should be available to Bufkin after he played sparingly as a rookie. Depending on his health and how he performs in camp, Bufkin could be worth taking a late-round flier on in deep leagues as Trae Young’s backup.
Vit Krejci

ATL Point Guard #27

Vit Krejci has signed a four-year, $10 million deal with the Hawks, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Krejci’s contract wasn’t converted from a two-way into a standard deal last season, but it wasn’t because the Hawks didn’t want to keep him around. Now, they’ll have him under contract for more seasons on a team-friendly deal. He played really well down the stretch while the team was dealing with injuries, and he should be a rotation piece for Atlanta this year. However, he won’t make much of a fantasy impact.
Cody Zeller

ATL Center #40

Cody Zeller is headed to Atlanta via sign-and-trade as part of the deal headlined by Dejounte Murray.

The reported Murray trade is official, with Atlanta receiving four players and two future first-round picks (2025 via LAL, 2027 via MIL or NOR). Zeller, who was a free agent, is headed to the Hawks via sign-and-trade, joining Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance Jr., and EJ Liddell. Zeller did not offer much fantasy value in New Orleans, and that’s unlikely to change due to the Hawks’ surplus of big men. And that would remain the case if Clint Capela, whose name has come up in trade rumors, moves on.
