Per team policy, no further details of the deal were disclosed. Spotrac predicted Risacher's deal to be for four years at $57.2 million.

Risacher -- who was born in Spain but grew up in France -- most recently played for JL Bourg-en-Bresse of LNB Elite, France's premier division of professional basketball.

In 32 games last season, Risacher averaged 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists for JL Bourg. The 19-year-old is 6-foot-9 and weighed in at 195 pounds at the draft combine in May.

"So exciting. There's a lot of feelings and emotions right now," Risacher told ESPN after becoming the Hawks' first No. 1 draft pick since 1975. "I don't know what to say, but ... I'm so blessed."
