Micah Potter

Patience defined Potter's path. He left Ohio State for Wisconsin and sat out nearly a year and a half on transfer rules and a denied eligibility appeal, then went undrafted in 2021. Utah gave him two-way contracts in 2022 and again in 2024, and he appeared in 38 games for the Jazz in 2024-25.

A Mentor, Ohio product, Potter served on the USA Select Team that helped prepare the national roster for the 2024 Olympics. After camp with San Antonio and a contract with Indiana, he was claimed off waivers by Portland in July 2026, still working for a permanent NBA footing.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted, he signed a two-way contract with Utah on October 12, 2022 and stuck around for three seasons.
