Former New Orleans Pelicans Forward On The Move Again via Trade
The New Orleans Pelicans made a few major changes to their roster during the 2024 NBA offseason. Certainly, the biggest one was acquiring guard Dejounte Murray from the Atlanta Hawks. The centerpiece of the deal heading back to the Hawks was two first-round picks in 2025 and 2027. 2022 lottery pick Dyson Daniels was the centerpiece player, being joined by Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller and E.J. Liddell.

Risacher's combination of length and defensive versatility on the wing makes him a player who can come into any situation and contribute right away. He is more than just a catch-and-shoot threat and has shown improvement as a facilitator when his shot isn't falling.

Durisic tested the NBA waters last year during the pre-draft process and took the feedback from NBA teams seriously, improving his shot selection and finish around the rim. He's still a bit turnover prone (3.2 per game) but he finds creative ways to score and has solid size at the guard position at 6-foot-7.
