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.

Potter is a skilled big man at 6-foot-9 who can operate with his back to the basket and showcase feathery soft touch on over the shoulder hooks. He’s got dependable hands in the dunkers spot, good awareness on rolling to the rim after setting ball screens and can do his work early on establishing leverage in the post to put himself in position for offensive rebounds. He was yet another underclassmen who made the most of his time on the floor going 4-for-4 in 12 minutes for eight points off the bench. This was an up-tempo game as Jackson-Reed plays a smaller, faster brand of basketball that doesn’t necessarily compliment Potter’s strengths, but when he was in there his presence was felt. Expect for Potter to be a big piece of the rotation especially as Bullis goes up against opponents with more size in the frontcourt.
