In a previous NBA Summer League game, the Miami Heat, who had suffered a 39-point defeat the day before, defeated the Sacramento Kings Blue 102-86. After this game, the Heat won their first Summer League game, while the Kings suffered their first Summer League loss after the victory over China.
In this game, the performance of the Heat's backup point guard Zyon Pullin can be described as eye-catching. He played 12 minutes and 26 seconds, shooting 3-of-3 from the field and finishing with 6 points and 3 assists, with a plus/minus of +13. Although he didn't play too much time and possessed the ball, Prinn still showed everyone a super breakthrough ability and finishing ability, and it seems that Prin also has some passing ability and organizational ability. Crucially, Pullin is a dynamic player on the pitch who is able to use his technical strengths to pose a threat to his opponents. With Pullin's form in this game, if he can get more minutes and more trust, his performance and his stats could be taken to the next level. Regardless, Poolin's performance in this game was quite impressive.
In the previous game of the team's heavy defeat to the Warriors, Poolin's performance was indeed average, he played 21 minutes and 29 seconds, shooting 2-of-8 from the field, 1-of-1 from beyond the three-point line, and got 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 turnovers, with a plus/minus of -11. Pullin didn't feel good on the offensive end, his attacking options looked problematic, and he also made a number of unsuccessful attempts to the opposition's interior, resulting in the team wasting a lot of chances. Still, it looked like Prinn's ability to adjust was pretty good, and he quickly found his groove in his second Summer League game and helped his side to a victory.
Born in March 2001, the 23-year-old was the undrafted pick in this year's NBA Draft, but the Heat offered him a two-way contract immediately after the draft, which shows that they are indeed very optimistic about his potential. According to the previous physical test data of the G League elite training camp, Purin's height is 191.8cm, the arm span is 197.5cm, the standing touch height is 250.2cm, and the weight is 91.4kg. In the NCAA this season, Purin played a total of 33 games for the University of Florida, averaging 33.5 minutes per game, averaging 15.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers, shooting 44.4% from the field, 44.9% from three-point range, and 84.7% from the free throw line. It seems that Pullin is indeed a very characteristic player, and it is wondered if he will be able to get more minutes and a higher tactical position in the future, and will he be able to hold on to his two-way contract?
