Potter notched 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), a steal and a block across 10 minutes in Friday's 133-104 preseason victory over Indiana.
Potter was able to capitalize in limited action, being one of seven Spurs to score double digits despite playing only 10 minutes. It remains to be seen whether Potter will make the final roster heading into the regular season, but Friday's outing is an encouraging sign for Potter moving forward.

Jazz's Micah Potter: Plays well in start
Rotowire
Potter recorded 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 loss to Golden State.
Utah was without several key contributors for the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Potter to see a healthy workload of minutes. With the Jazz positioned to be sellers at the upcoming trade deadline, Potter is someone who could find himself with a larger role down the stretch. In eight starts this season, he's been mostly underwhelming with averages of 6.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.0 minutes.
