With the NBA draft just weeks away, there is still a lot of speculation about who will be the number one pick.
The ambiguity around who will be the first selection is creating a lot of excitement for fans.
Behind the scenes, multiple teams are working hard to figure out who they will draft.
According to Evan Sidery, French star Zaccharie Risacher will conduct private workouts with the Atlanta Hawks and San Antonio Spurs this week.
Risacher is still a “serious contender” to be the number one pick but he could also slide down the standings too.

At six-foot-eight, the 19-year-old star is seen as a wing player who could greatly assist either the Hawks or Spurs.
Atlanta has the top pick in the draft but they haven’t decided which route they will take.
They could sign a young player who could help out Trae Young or Dejounte Murray, although it’s not clear if either of those players will be in Atlanta when the new season kicks off.
At the same time, the Hawks could also choose to ship away their top draft pick in a trade package before the draft.
They have a lot of decisions to make over the next few weeks.
As for the Spurs, they are attempting to build a stronger roster around Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama.
Could Risacher be a part of that new roster?
There are a few other players contending with Risacher to go toward the start of the draft but the clock is ticking down.
Over the next few weeks, Risacher and others will work out with teams and perhaps the draft lineup will become more clear.
