Former Wisconsin forward Micah Potter nailed a 3-pointer in the 2024 USA Men’s National Team’s exhibition match vs. Serbia on Wednesday.
The look arrived in a 28-point game with under two minutes to spare, and Potter didn’t hesitate before hoisting his shot attempt off a pass from Boston Celtics guard Derrick White.
Potter also scratched the scoresheet in the USA’s first exhibition contest vs. Canada on July 10. The Mentor, Ohio product attempted another outside look, but failed to connect from the left wing.
Both Potter and former Badger Nigel Hayes-Davis are currently traveling with the star-studded 2024 USA Men’s National Team during the 2024 USA Basketball Showcase.
As members of the 2024 USA Select Team, both UW alumni served as practice players for the 12-man team to work out against before their trek to France for Olympic Games Paris 2024.

The two are currently working on a return to the NBA. Hayes-Davis has showcased his hardwood abilities abroad as a member of the Turkish Super League, including a 50-point game earlier this year.
Potter, on the other hand, has suited up for the Salt Lake City Stars on a Two-Way contract with the Utah Jazz.
Their contributions to the United States’ 2024 squad will not go unnoticed. Both Hayes-Davis and Potter consistently stayed after each Select Team practice in Las Vegas well after other Hall of Famers left the gym.
