Utah Jazz center Micah Potter expects big things from the Indiana Pacers this season.
Potter, who signed with the Jazz on a two-way contract during the offseason, recently appeared on the Pacers locked podcastHe spoke about his time with Team USA this offseason, which included time sharing the court with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton.
Later in the conversation, Potter was asked about the Pacers and what he expects from the blue and gold this season.
“I think the Pacers have a really good chance to be really good,” the three-year pro said. “Obviously, they had an incredible run last year.” Potter has never played against the blue and gold in the pros, but he has faced Haliburton with Team USA and in college as well as Josiah Jordan-James, future Pacer.
“You just have the continuity of people like that, and people who have been there. Everybody is going to get better this summer,” Potter said of Indiana. “And then there’s that increased chemistry … And now you know what you have to do.”
The Pacers lost the Eastern Conference Finals to the Boston Celtics last season and are returning largely to the same roster. Continuity and internal growth will be key for the team this season if it wants to repeat that success or make another playoff run.
Potter averaged 3.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game during his career, which spanned the Jazz and Detroit Pistons. His appearance on the podcast can be found here.
