He is one of the few rookies to have their overall revealed to them and the public, as Zaccharie Risacher comes in at an impressive 75 overall. That makes sense due to who he is as a player and being the first overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The game will be released on September 6th, with early play on September 4th; early play is only available to those who pre-order it before the actual release day.
I give all that context to say that nothing else outside of his main overall is known, which will be given to fans in the coming weeks. NBA2K has left out how many badges he will receive, his attributes, and Hot Zones.
As of right now, Risacher comes in higher than Cam Whitmore (74), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (72), Dereck Lively II (72), and Brandin Podziemski (71). He out-overalled many players in the 2023 class, but those are the main ones.
It would be an understatement to say this center build is an epic cheat-code, as the three players shaded in this glorious build will give you an unfair advantage on the court.
The three players are Domantas Sabonis, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Alperen Sengun. All three of these players are absolutely killing it in real life, plus their abilities in NBA 2K25 are out of this world – whether that be in simulation or controlling them mid game.
This build will allow you to physically bully your opponent, dominant the paint, and become the ultimate stretch big to command the three-point line. In fact, this hybrid build is more of a unicorn than Kristaps Porzingis. Something to keep in mind.
Above all that, this heavy offensive machine allows you to shoot from any level of your opponent’s side of the court. It includes speed, strength, rebounding, and the capability of playmaking.
A win-win build all the way around, if I do say so myself.
This build is single-handedly one of the coolest builds out there currently, why? Because not only can you be an elite three-level shot creator, but playmaking is taken to a whole new level.
In addition to all that, you are a decent defender at 6’1, weighing 192 pounds. Not a solid two-way player, but you won’t get burnt defensively.
The shades of this build are Stephen Curry, Trae Young, and Jameer Nelson. For those that aren’t aware of Nelson and his talent, he had a very long career in the NBA, where fans got to see him be a former All-Star point guard.
His main ability was generating open looks for his teammates and shooting the ball when needed. This plays fantastic into the style of Curry and Young.
