Team USA C Micah Potter shared a story about Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton shining in a drill with LA Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
, Team USA and Utah Jazz center Micah Potter talked about his experience with the United States Olympic team this summer. During the conversation, Potter was asked about Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton, whoahead of the Olympics, and he got to suit up in games against Canada and Serbia during the lead up to the 2024 Paris games. Utah's reserve big man canned a three in both of his outings and didn't look out of place at all.
"His shot making ability is incredible," Potter said. "There was one shooting drill we were doing in Abu Dhabi in practice... it was him, Anthony Davis, and LeBron , and he torched them," Potter said. "Essentially, what it was is you had to make six shots before you missed three, and you can't miss two in a row. I don't think missed a shot. They went seven spots, and I'm pretty sure he went 42 for 42.
Potter praised Haliburton's ability to distribute, too. "His passing is unbelievable... That's why he was there, was to be that facilitator," he said. The Jazz frontcourt player, who signed a two-way deal with Utah not long ago, recalled that he and Haliburton had a previous connection dating back to college. Iowa State and Wisconsin — Haliburton and Potter's NCAA programs, respectively — faced off in a preseason scrimmage every year. According to Potter, Wisoncinsin torched Iowa State both years that the two overlapped. Potter had to mess with Haliburton because of those games.
