GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida guards Zyon Pullin and Walter Clayton Jr. have been named All-SEC and forward Alex Condon earned SEC All-Freshman, the Southeastern Conference announced on Monday. Pullin earned first-team honors, while Clayton earned second-team recognition.
The group has helped lead Florida to a 21-10 regular season record, the team’s most wins heading into the postseason since 2016-17. Pullin and Clayton give Florida multiple All-SEC guards for the first time in 11 years – last accomplished by Kenny Boynton, Mike Rosario and Scottie Wilbekin in 2012-13 – and the 11th time in Florida history (see chart below).
As Florida’s point guard, Pullin has posted a 4.38 assist-to-turnover ratio that ranks second in the nation and is on pace to set UF’s program record. Pullin also has six 20-point games and began the season with 23 straight double-figure scoring games, matching UF’s third-longest streak of the 2000s. He averaged 16.6 points per game in SEC action while dishing 5.0 assists per game and playing a team-high 36.3 minutes per game.
Clayton, Florida’s leading scorer, has averaged 17.0 points overall and has fared even better in SEC play at 18.3 points per game. Clayton has 12 20-point games this season, the most by a Gator since Boynton’s 13 in 2011-12. His seven 3-pointers at Kentucky helped lift Florida to its first top-10 road win since 2003, and he hit at least three 3-pointers in 12 of UF’s 18 SEC games this season.
As a backcourt duo, Pullin and Clayton’s combined 32.7 points per game overall are the most by two Florida players since Anthony Roberson and Matt Walsh’s 33.7 in 2003-04.
Condon, a 6-foot-11 Australian who came to Florida as an unranked recruit, leads all SEC freshman with 6.5 rebounds per game and 38 blocked shots in addition to his 7.5 points per game. Condon is the only Florida freshman in the 2000s to post multiple 15-rebound games and is the Gators’ first frontcourt SEC All-Freshman honoree since Patric Young in 2010-11.
This marks the second time over the past decade that the Gators have had multiple All-SEC performers and an SEC All-Freshman honoree, as this season’s group joins the 2019-20 trio of first-team All-SEC Keyontae Johnson, second-team All-SEC Kerry Blackshear and SEC All-Freshman Scottie Lewis.
Florida returns to action at the SEC Tournament in Nashville on Thursday evening when the Gators face either Georgia or Missouri. Action begins on SEC Network at approximately 9:30 Eastern, 25 minutes following the conclusion of the 7 p.m. game.
