Though the body took some work, the shooting stroke has always been pure. Potts credits Tyrone Bailey, a former player at an Alabama community college whom he met during a pickup game at the local Boys & Girls Club, for working with him since ninth grade.

“He didn’t miss a shot,” Potts said. “After he got done playing I was like, ‘Can you teach me how to shoot like that? We’d meet up every day around 3 (p.m.) and he’d teach me how to shoot, make sure my form was right, make sure my body was straight up and and down, keep my elbow in. I’ve been a great shooter ever since, but I’ve got a lot more in my bag. I can drive it, finish around the rim. There’s more to it than shooting.”
