SEC Basketball: Ranking of top 25 players entering 2023-24 season

22. Zyon Pullin – Florida

While he’s currently a stranger to life in the SEC, Pullin has showed his talents, spending the last four seasons becoming a star player at UC Riverside. The numbers have gotten better with each passing season and last year’s senior season was monstrous, with Pullin averaging 18.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, making a hair under 40% from the 3-point line.

Pullin starred in the Big West and now transitions to Florida, where he should play a significant role in the Gators’ backcourt. Not only has he shown the capability of playing both guard positions, Pullin is also lethal from all over the court. He’s going to be a great offensive addition for Florida, though growing pains as he adjusts to a new conference and new offense wouldn’t be too surprising.

21. Aaron Estrada – Alabama

A major offseason addition, Estrada arrives at his fourth different school. He was MAAC Rookie of the Year at Saint Peter’s before playing just nine games for Oregon as a sophomore. These last two years at Hofstra have been excellent for Estrada, who was named CAA Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons. Last year saw him average 20.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists while making 37^ of his 3-pointers and leading the Pride to a CAA regular season title.

Estrada showed his talent these last few years at Hofstra and will now slide into a starting role with the Crimson Tide. He did briefly play with the Ducks but this is another big shot at the power conference level. The numbers were magnificent against the CAA, though the main question is how he adjusts to daily life in the SEC. He should figure into this Alabama offense in a major way, especially after the offseason departures.
