Keep Growing.” quickly went viral across basketball social media platforms. Pullin, a 6-foot-4 point guard who spent four years at UC Irvine, averaged 17.2 points, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game in his final collegiate season before signing a two-way contract with the Timberwolves 10 days ahead of the Summer League. In his Summer League debut, he put up 18 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds on 8-of-13 shooting, leading the team’s second unit to a 22-point run in the third quarter that sealed the win. During the 8-minute press interview, Pullin repeatedly emphasized his growth-focused mindset. “I’m not here to prove anyone wrong, I’m here to prove to the coaching staff, my teammates and myself that I belong at this level,” he told reporters. “I show up 45 minutes early to every practice to work on my three-point consistency and pick-and-roll decision making, and I stay an hour late to go over game film with the assistant coaches. There are so many little details I need to fix, from my on-ball defense against faster guards to my turnover rate in high-pressure situations, so every rep, every game, every conversation with the veteran staff is a chance to get better. Keep Learning. Keep Growing. That’s the only rule I’m following right now.” Timberwolves Summer League head coach Joe Boylan also praised Pullin’s work ethic in a separate interview, noting that his mentality aligns perfectly with the franchise’s priority on young player development. “We’ve had guys like Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels come up through our Summer League program with this exact same hunger to improve, and we’ve seen how that translates to long-term success at the NBA level,” Boylan said. “Zyon has already made a great first impression, and we’re excited to see how he grows through the rest of the tournament.” As of press time, the 90-second clip of Pullin’s “Keep Learning. Keep Growing.” line has accumulated over 1.2 million views on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), with thousands of fans sharing the clip as motivational content for aspiring athletes. The Timberwolves are set to face the Los Angeles Clippers Summer League team in their next game on July 7, and Pullin is expected to take on an expanded role in the team’s backcourt rotation.
