Micah Potter to Utah

Langston Galloway was named as a member of the 2024 USA Select Team, which trained alongside the USA Men’s National Team during training camp. After Team USA’s training camp, Galloway, Micah Potter and Nigel Hayes-Davis accepted invitations to serve as practice players for USA Basketball’s senior men’s national team during exhibitions in Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi and London in preparation for the Paris Olympics. All three’s role is to participate in USA’s practices, workouts and even exhibition games when needed before the Olympics. “Langston has been great,” USA Basketball managing director Grant Hill told Andscape. “He was with us last year during our World Cup run as well. He really understands the FIBA game, having played professionally in Europe and being a member of our World Cup qualifying teams. He, Micah and Nigel play an important role in our overall preparation for Paris. We are thankful for their presence and contributions to our team’s success.” -via Andscape / July 22, 2024

Said USA Basketball’s head of men’s programming Sean Ford: “Langston’s commitment and contribution to USA Basketball has been incredible. No player had a bigger impact on getting us qualified for the World Cup than him, playing in five windows in a row and leading us to an 8-2 record. Langston, Nigel and Micah have all contributed to a successful training camp. For them to take three weeks out of their offseason to help other players train for the Olympics knowing that they won’t be able to be a part of the team in Paris is an incredibly selfless act. It is a reflection of the character of each of them and I hope this opportunity helps them advance their careers.” -via Andscape / July 22, 2024

Tim Reynolds: The plan is for Langston Galloway, Nigel Hayes-Davis and Micah Potter to stick around and assist the U.S. Olympic team with practices for at least a few more days. Select Team time ended yesterday. -via Twitter @ByTimReynolds / July 9, 2024
