Potter’s role grew significantly as the year went on. If you ask me, it was a combination of him learning to adjust to the speed and physicality of the varsity level while simultaneously playing his way into shape. He’s a big body at 6-foot-8 with dependable mitts and soft touch on over the shoulder hooks or quick floaters off dump-offs. He progressed as a rebounder and understanding how to use his leverage to win battles against more athletic, springy bigs. His mobility, like other aspects of his game, improved with time as did his intent to rim-run and embrace contact while finishing.
