I have a really good feeling that Jacob Pullen isn't going to suck today in a Fear the Beard, "Eating food off of plate" in the pregame with his teammates, cover of Sports Illustrated, AP First Team All-American, Cover of Sports Illustrated kind of way.

Agreed.  I'm thinking 24 from Pullen; a 3-7 from 3, 7-9 from the FT line, 5 assist and 2 TO kind of game.

I'm cautiously excited for Pullz I just don't really understand what changed to get him a chance.  I haven't followed his international career but I assume he still has the same limitations he had when leaving kstate ( not an elite ball handler, physical size, etc)

Non-guaranteed, they can carry 20 through training camp, he is number 18.  They carry 15 and usually dress 12 for games.  I doubt he gets more than a few preseason minutes.

TY. I didn't know how this was much different than playing on a summer league team, which he did a few years in a row. I just don't want to get too excited over nothing.

It's a new wrinkle this year that is aimed to grow the G League (formerly D League) to become more like the MLB minor league system. 26 of the 30 teams now have a G League affiliate.

With the new rules NBA teams are able to expand their rosters from 15 to 17. The additional two spots are "Two Way Contracts", and those two players can spend a max of 45 days on the NBA roster. The rest of the time they can play in the G League while the NBA team still has their rights.

Pullen is a G League candidate because he has less than 4 years of NBA experience, which is requirement of the TWC.

The sixers are very injury prone so he will probably get to play more than expected.

I hope Jake continues to do well, but those 6 points came on two 3s in garbage time.

Also, he's not battling with Fultz for a job so that comparison is pointless. He's competing with guys like McConnell and Blackmon.

I was wondering if he was getting any decent $$$ for this, so I did some research... not great news:


http://hoopshype.com/2015/08/02/the-life-of-the-non-guaranteed-player/
Quote
The common misconception is that players who sign non-guaranteed contracts to participate in training camp will receive a salary. They don’t. Like summer league, players will receive roughly $127 in per diem, hotel and all travel expenses to take part. The one added bonus is that players are eligible to receive $2,000 in camp compensation per week for roughly four weeks. However, if you make the team, then your training camp compensation gets deducted from your first check on November 15.
Title: Re: Jacob Pullen appreciation thread.
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on October 12, 2017, 02:20:31 PM
So roughly $11,810 a month. Not bad.

Title: Re: Jacob Pullen appreciation thread.
Post by: IPA4Me on October 14, 2017, 09:33:30 PM
From here: https://www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/nba/2017/7/18/15985262/nba-two-way-contract-2017-summer-league-agents-worried-about-them

Here are the specific details for the new two-way contract:

They will act as a 16th and 17th roster spot for NBA teams beginning next season (2017-18).

The player can spend up to 45 days with the NBA team that signs him, although no time is guaranteed.

The rest of the player’s contract must be spent in the G-League, either for the team’s affiliate or another’s if the team he signs with doesn’t have a G-League affiliate yet. For the 2017-18 season, the G-League will represent 26 of the NBA’s 30 teams.

The player’s pay comes on a tiered salary system, which can last one or two seasons. While in the G-League, the player will make $75,000. It’s a significant increase from the current pay structure for G-Leaguers, who cannot make more than $26,000 with a one-way G-League deal.

When in the NBA, a player with a two-way contract will accrue a day of service and make money consistent with an NBA rookie minimum, which is about $816,000 next season. If a player spends 45 days in the NBA, he could make around $204,000.

In total, a two-way player who spends the maximum amount of time in the NBA would make $279,000.

That’s a lot more money than the G-League has ever presented its players.

and that is maybe the best "fact" the NCAA has to not pay players - there isn't much of a market for minor league sports in the US of A.

but back on topic, I applaud Pullen for taking his shot at playing in the NBA - It sounds like signing the 2 way contract limits his earning vs what he would make in Europe but at 27 it's time to give it a shot.

Y'all gotta listen to the latest Boscoe's Boys podcast. Scott got Pullen and the interview is great, they pretty much touch on everything except for the Missouri benching as a freshman and If he knows who the hell Spencer Kietzman is. Jake tells a lot of great stories, it's over an hour of great stories from that era.

It's literally 90 minutes of Pullen telling stories from his 4 years here and how he felt and still feels about the Weber hire. Listen or don't but no one is summarizing that, lol.

We played Missouri right after breaking the streak against KU. If you remember, freshman Pullen was incredible that night. The very next game against Missouri Frank made a big deal about not playing Jake, he didn't play a single second, but he never told us why Jake didn't play, and we lost.

Could you imagine oscar benching Pack last year? I think somebody would literally burn the Ice Center to the ground.

Frank did this with Angel against OU in '12 too.  Not sure if there was ever an explanation for that one either.

Frank was all about sending those messages and seemingly could care less if they cost us some games.  It was certainly frustrating at times but I think it helped to get the team to their best come March.

Uh, no. You should listen to the interview. He's also spoken about this before, oscar has absolutely nothing to do with why his jersey hasn't been retired yet

I was just talking about this with my brother when we considered what Huggy or Frank would have done to Nowell after he pulled his hero-ball half court last-second shot against Iowa State. Honestly, I don't think Nowell woud have dared pull that bullshit with a strong coach.

lol, you're a weird guy. Did you miss that Huggins just played a game against us where he benched one of his favorite players because the player got T'ed up in back to back games then yelled at Huggins on the bench after getting that second T? Frank and Huggins players do stupid, undisciplined, selfish crap all of the time because they coach 18-22 year olds.

I think I forgot how intense Pullen was.  Barry might be similar but Pullen seems like he was on an entirely different Michael Jordan level mentality of how he tough and motivated he was to win.

im def in the "kids too soft these days" camp, but note that nowell came up big in the ot and the next game, so not shitting on him apparently worked...though i agree the play was shaqtin a fool level at best

Jake and Jamar were a lot of fun to talk to when we went to the first TBT thing in Chicago.  If I remember correctly, he wasn't very happy that a lot of the guys said they would play and be there then bailed.  Jamar was hurt, but it would have been awesome to see him play again.

You'll have to point out to me when Frank or Hugs had a player make as selfish or undesciplined play in as critical a situation as Nowell did with his hero-ball routine. It was the worst such example I've witnessed in decades of watcing K-State basketball.
I love Nowell, but he does extremely selfish, stupid things and there's no doubt we'll see more of the same.

I'm just going to assume Frank calling players selfish motherfuckers pretty much every game are examples of players being selfish motherfuckers, weird that screaming selfish motherfuckers at them didn't stop them from being selfish motherfuckers. It's almost like being a high level teenage athlete has some elements of self belief that can and does lead to occasional selfishness.

My favorite part of the interview was just how much Pullen loves K-State and how much he knows we love him back.

Second favorite part was some of the background behind the "I will not play in the NIT" quote like how he was M'F'n everyone in the locker room after the game about how KSTATE doesnt lose to teams like Colorado.
