Report: Florida guard Zyon Pullin receives invite to G League Elite Camp
Florida point guard Zyon Pullin has received an invite to the G League Elite Camp, according to NBA Draft analyst Jonathan Givony.
Taking place in Chicago from May 11-12, the G League Elite Camp will host NBA Draft hopefuls in featured five-on-five matchups along with other strength and agility tests. Pullin is now the latest to have his name selected to this group.
Pullin received First Team All-SEC honors averaging 15.5 points and 4.9 assists per game, finishing third in the college basketball ranks in assist-to-turnover ratio. He played one season at Florida, starting in 27 of the Gators’ 33 games this past season.
The 2023-24 season also saw Pullin set the Gators’ single-season record for assist-to-turnover ratio with 3.77 — the best final average in the SEC in over two decades. He would go on to lead the Gators with 162 assists and tallied 512 points on the season after scoring in double figures during his first 23 appearances as a Florida Gator.
His best performances include a 21-point, 7-rebound and 7-assist game on the road against a top-10 Kentucky squad — the first top-10 road win for the Gators since 2003. He also scored 22 points in an overtime win against Michigan — including a game-tying 3-pointer with 8.9 seconds left to send the game to double overtime.
He finished his five-year collegiate career logging 1,824 points before ending his career as a graduate transfer in Gainesville.
Before that, Pullin played the last four seasons UC Riverside where he averaged in the double digits for three consecutive years. He scored 1,312 points in 109 games (77 starts) for UC Riverside.
As a senior, Pullin averaged a career-best 18.3 points per game during the 2022-23 season. He scored 20 or more points on 12 different occasions — including a career-high 30-point performance against San Diego in Dec. 2022. In his final season with UC Riverside, Pullin nearly pulled off a 50/40/80 split as one of the most efficient point guards in the mid-majors during that time.
There, he was a three-time All-Big West honoree after leading UC Riverside to a winning record in all three seasons where he was a featured starter.
Now, his attention is on the 2024 NBA Draft which will be held Wednesday, June 26 (First Round) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Thursday, June 27 (Second Round) at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York and will air live on ESPN.
