Fantasy translation
- Nine-category: undrafted.
- Points: undrafted.
- Dynasty: deep assist watchlist; stash only if G League playmaking translates efficiently.
Floor and ceiling
Floor: G League-only season. Ceiling: 18 NBA minutes during a Ball absence, with five or more assists and acceptable percentages. He needs a multi-player injury chain to reach that ceiling.
Risk monitor
Minnesota can run the second unit through Dosunmu or Edwards, reducing the need for a specialist backup point guard. Hyland is also on a standard contract and begins ahead of Pullin.

Career record
Pre-NBA: Five college seasons — four at UC Riverside, then a graduate year at Florida.
| College season | Team | GP | MPG | PTS | REB | AST | FG% | 3P% | FT% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019-20 | UC Riverside | 31 | 17.6 | 4.1 | 2.1 | 1.8 | .355 | .286 | .659 |
| 2020-21 | UC Riverside | 22 | 31.4 | 12.1 | 4.9 | 4.5 | .479 | .396 | .800 |
| 2021-22 | UC Riverside | 27 | 34.7 | 14.3 | 5.6 | 4.3 | .473 | .311 | .767 |
| 2022-23 | UC Riverside | 29 | 33.9 | 18.3 | 4.4 | 4.2 | .486 | .394 | .771 |
| 2023-24 | Florida | 33 | 33.5 | 15.5 | 3.9 | 4.9 | .444 | .449 | .847 |
The Florida year is the relevant one: .449 from three on high-major volume with a near-five-assist rate. Draft: undrafted (2024). Signed and waived twice by Miami before landing with Sioux Falls, then a two-way with Memphis in January 2025, waived in November 2025, and a two-way with Minnesota on March 2, 2026.

Eight NBA games across two seasons is not a sample anyone should project from. The G League record is the substantive one: G League Player of the Month for November 2025, and a 2025-26 season for Iowa in the range of 27 to 28 points and six to seven assists per game. Sources disagree on the exact figures — a separate 14-game sample reads 23.8 points and 5.8 assists on .557/.448/.841 — so treat the precise line as unverified while noting that every version of it shows a high-volume, efficient lead guard.
Durability: No injury history worth reporting. The tiny NBA game counts reflect two-way transaction churn and roster position, not availability.
Trajectory: A 25-year-old five-year college player who has been signed and waived four times and has 8 NBA games to show for two professional seasons. He dominates the G League, which at his age is closer to a ceiling indicator than a development signal. Minnesota's guard hierarchy leaves him fourth or fifth in line for point-guard minutes. He becomes a deep-league assist streamer only in a specific chain: Ball misses time and Minnesota chooses not to slide Dosunmu or Edwards into the primary handling role — a two-condition event, and the second condition is the one that usually fails.

Open questions
- Is Pullin ahead of Hyland for pure point-guard minutes?
- Can he maintain efficient assist-to-turnover play in the G League?
- Does Ball's availability create enough NBA call-ups to matter in deep formats?
