Kansas State junior guard Jacob Pullen has a great basketball IQ. He understands when to shoot, drive, and pass. Though he endured a rocky freshman season with the Wildcats, Pullen has learned and stands now as one of the premier point guards in the Big 12.

Now in his third year with the Wildcats, Pullen is already rewriting K-State basketball history. Through 28 games this season, Pullen has already garnered 1,000 points, 100 steals, and 300 assists in his career. For his career at K-State, Pullen has played in 95 games for a total of 2,662 minutes.

Pullen is the vocal leader for the Wildcats. With senior guard Denis Clemente at his side, the Wildcats feature one of the most talented backcourt tandems in the country.

Both guards are deadly from behind the arc. When they release the ball, the crowd just knows the shot is going in. There is so much more to Pullen’s game than just his ability to make three-point shots, however. Pullen is a great defensive player with quick hands. This is evidenced by the fact that he has accumulated more than 100 steals in his career. It seems like Pullen can be seen knuckling up on the opposing team’s best player every time K-State takes the court.

He likes to share the ball as well. Although he rarely gets double-digit assists, he always looks to set his teammates up with easy baskets. He continues to improve in that category. In his freshman year he dished out 106 assists. In his sophomore year he had 109 assists. This year, he’s dished out 105 assists and the Wildcats have two more regular-season games to play, the Big 12 Conference Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.

K-State stars Askia Jones and Steve Henson are the only players to end their careers with 1,000 points, 200 3-pointers, 250 assists and 100 steals. Sooner or later, Pullen will add his name to this most exclusive list. With two games left on the regular season schedule and an entire senior season to play, Pullen needs just seven three-pointers to become the third player to accomplish such a feat at K-State. Pullen takes seven three-point attempts per game, so this milestone is very obtainable before tournament play even begins.
