The Mavericks have several players who could benefit from a boost in their 3-point shooting. Fodor is helping Morez Johnson Jr. develop a wider base and higher release point. He wants Caleb Martin to shoot with decisiveness and speed. He’s also working with Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall, who aims to shoot 45% from three this season, an admirable goal given his career mark of 30%. He’s struggled in his first three games with an early clip of 27.3%, but he’s seen improvement during practices. “He fixed my whole swag,” Marshall said during training camp. “That’s why I’m so confident saying that 45%. That guy is unbelievable. I work with him every day because I found out how much of a GOAT he was. I just appreciate him as well.”
Marc Stein: The precise amount is $17.4 million and the Year 4 option ensures that former No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher does not become an unrestricted free agent next summer. Also: The deadline for such options has been moved leaguewide to Monday because Oct. 31 falls on Saturday.
The Dallas Mavericks have downgraded Max Christie (right shin contusion), Kyrie Irving (left knee injury management), Morez Johnson (right shin splints) and Zaccharie Risacher (right hip soreness) to questionable for Saturday’s game against San Antonio. Jett Howard (right calf tightness / soreness) is now doubtful.
Mark Followill: Gotta wait on opening right rosters to be set Monday for this to be official but looks like the Mavs are going to end up with one of the more significant get younger shifts of the NBA offseason: Players added on standard contracts who are 25 or younger: Milwaukee has 6: Nate Ament, Kasparas Jakucionis, Brayden Burries, Bogoljub Markovic, Kel’el Ware, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. Mavs have 5: Morez Johnson Jr., Sergio de Larrea, Zaccharie Risacher, Santi Aldama, Tarik Biberovic. Couple of other teams may end up at 5…several at 4. We’ll see how it shakes out next Monday.

That's why Arenas quickly highlighted the contrast between the scrutiny James received and the lack of attention Risacher got, which he believes points to a concerning issue. Speaking on his show, Arenas called out media networks and analysts for never holding European players accountable when they fail to meet expectations. "They was too busy bashing Bronny for nepotism that they forgot there was a No. 1 pick that they never even mentioned," Arenas said. "Remember, he got drafted? He's been a–s ever since. You didn't even want to mention him when he got drafted, when he was the No. 1 pick. Ya'll went straight for the 55th pick… You killed him."
Legion Hoops: Zaccharie Risacher says he doesn’t know why he was traded: “I feel like I had a good first season. I was told I exceeded expectations. It was really surprising to me, this second season, I didn’t really know what was happening. I also was told the NBA was really competitive and it’s apart of the game. Someday you could be somebody who’s valuable and another day…”
Etienne Catalan: Zaccharie Risacher ( @Zacch_10 ) will wear No. 10 for the #Mavericks. Number last worn by Brandon Williams in 2026. #NBA
Brad Rowland: Per source, here are the official pick details for what the Hawks sent out in the Lu Dort / Zaccharie Risacher trade: - Top-55 protected 2027 to Dallas - 2031 most favorable of ATL/HOU to OKC - 2032 most favorable of ATL/LAL to OKC (So 2 real second round picks and 1 very fake one.)

Yossi Gozlan: Atlanta Hawks cap situation after trading Zaccharie Risacher for Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard. Dort is currently extension-eligible for up to three years, $67 million over the next six months. He could get more after. Nembhard will become a restricted free agent after this season.
Yossi Gozlan: Dallas Mavericks after trading for Zaccharie Risacher. He's a little more likely to get his $17.4 million team option for 2027-28 picked up with this trade. They still have $7 million remaining of their Anthony Davis trade exception. They're out of second-round picks to trade.
Marc Stein: After trading away Anthony Davis in February, Dallas will again have three No. 1 overall picks on its roster when today's three-team trade agreement is made official: Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and Zaccharie Risacher.
