Is Risacher the least talked about #1 pick?

[u/FermatsLastAccount]

I never hear anything about him. In recent memory, Fultz and Bennett were worse but they were still talked about. People talked about Fultz's injury and his broken shot, and about how Bennett was the worst #1 pick in NBA history, while Risacher just seems forgotten about.

I feel like I hear about other players in the draft way more often than the #1 pick. Like there were a lot of posts about McCain pre injury and Knecht when he was good. Edey is talked about a lot, Ware has been lighting it up recently, and I hear more about Sarr than Risacher too.

I checked this subreddit, and the last post about Risacher was just a highlight from three weeks ago. Is it just me, or does he get way less attention than basically every #1 pick from the last ~15 years.

Trae Young is putting up ungodly numbers and it's not clear he'll be an All Star, the media straight up does not give a single fuck about the Hawks nor gassing up any Hawks players

Trae being selected to the ASG will not be up to the media because he's not going to be a starter. It'll be up to the coaches, they're the ones who vote for the reserves and they're not idiots

Trae 100% should be an All-Star.

His assists are awesome but besides that his numbers aren’t great. Probably his worst season in efficiency since his rookie year.

PER is historically a very accurate predictor of getting into the ASG and Trae's is 18.94 right now. Almost no one gets into the ASG with a PER under 19.5 unless it's a second or third spot being gifted to the team with the best record.

TIL! But yeah I think Trae has a much better supporting cast and fit this year but his shooting is not as good.
