Former K-State Wildcat Jacob Pullen trying to make most of chance in NBA

Sitting in front of his locker at the Sprint Center on Friday, former Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen couldn’t help but feel old.

He’ll be 28 in a few weeks, so he probably only said it as a half-joke.

But in the six years since he left K-State, he’s played in Italy, Israel, Spain, Croatia and most recently in Russia. He’s traveled internationally more times than he can count, all in search of a career in the NBA that’s eluded him since he went undrafted in 2011.

Now he’s got it. Finally.

“Getting an opportunity to put on an NBA jersey is just a dream,” he said.
